Back in 2013, we emerged from college into the real world and realized that Fall, although widely & astutely regarded as the pinnacle of the Fashion year, was not garnering nearly the respect it deserved within the community. To some college grads, Fashion is nothing more than the cover of the GQ in the check-out aisle of their local county supermarket; to young whippersnappers such as ourselves, however, Fashion was a lifestyle. As we put our young minds together, we conceptualized the idea of something bigger than ourselves. A true "A-Ha!" moment, we gestated the notion of an evening where we could all gather and rejoice in the name of Fall. In the name of Fashion. In the name of Fall Fashion. This idea, as it is formally defined today, was none other than Fall Catalogue Night.

​

​

Over the course of the last ten years, Fall Catalogue Night has grown from a small, intimate gathering of Chicago's most Fashion-forward minds into a highly-anticipated international spectacle. Like an fledgling toucan whose time has come to spread her wings and depart her mother's nest,  Fall Catalogue Night grew too big for it's humble Chicago-apartment roots and evolved into something bigger than ourselves. Every year we've opened our doors on a cold fall night to an increasing cornucopia of familiar and soon-to-be-familiar faces and we'll continue to do so for eternity in the name of Fall Fashion.

​

 

As the producers of this event, (or as our peers in the fashion industry frequently refer to us: The Commodores of Fashion) we follow one simple rule, "Bigger, Better, & More Extravagant Every Year". Beginning in 2018, we took Fall Catalogue Night to the next level by starting to donate 100% of proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association - Illinois Chapter. Moving out of our humble post-grad basements into public event spaces not only gave everybody more space to showcase their chic new autumn garb but also permitted live musical performances (by local, farm-to-table bands, rap artists & DJs), silent auctions, art exhibits (by local, non-GMO artists), and a full-service staff serving local brews, neighborhood spirits, and all your favorite fall-themed libations until the wee hours of the brisk fall morning. Through years of help and support from our fellow fashionistas, we have raised more than $140,00 for Alzheimer's support, care, and research to date. While we are truly moved and honored by the incredible support, we are hungry to do even more in 2023..

​

​

Please join us once again in celebrating the most Fashionable season of the year, by attending this year's, and the 10th Annual, Fall Catalogue Night. Thoughtfully adorn your most Fashionable Fall outfit as a jury of your peers work hard to crown this year's Miss Autumn & Mr. Fall. All this, while benefiting a great cause... hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

The Commodores
