CheekyChicago and Peroni Italy Celebrated 2013’s “Real People of Style” with Chicago’s Finest

Chicago is still trying to catch there breath from all the fierceness that hit 900 N. Michigan on March 21st. Cheeky Chicago did it again with the“Real People of Style” Fashion show. CheekyChicago.com and Peroni Italy once again rocked the walls of 900 North Michigan Shops as they welcomed over 350 attendees for what proved to be the must-attend fashion event of the season. Cheeky’s 4th annual spring show, “The Real People of Style” featured nine of Chitowns tastemakers, who strut their stuff as they showcased 900 North Michigan Shops’ latest spring trends from DNA2050, DEKA Chicago, Karen Millen, Original Penguin, Diesel, L.K.Bennett and Bloomingdale’s – with shoes from Mezlan and Charles David.

There was a Smartwater VIP Lounge, music by DJ AT, décor (and a fully interactive runway) produced by Platinum Events and sumptuous sips brought to all by Peroni Italy and EFFEN Vodka.

vintageblackglamour:

Actress Jane White in a 1941 photograph by Carl Van Vechten. A 1944 graduate of Smith College, White was the daughter of Civil Rights icon Walter White. Ms. White began her career on Broadway in 1945 when Paul Robeson helped her get her first role as the lead in Lillian Smith’s “Strange Fruit,” a story about a doomed interracial love affair. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt praised Ms. White’s work for its “restraint and beauty.” In 1959, Ms. White originated the role of Queen Aggravain (to a young Carol Burnett’s princess) in “Once Upon a Mattress.” For this role, Ms. White was asked to lighten her complexion, lest she “confuse” the audience with her “Mediterranean” looks. She would go on to establish a solid reputation as an actress in Shakespearean and classical roles from the 1960’s through the 1990’s. In 1979, her autobiographical one-woman show, “Jane White, Who?…”, was well received. Ms. White was also a cabaret singer and did work in film and television, including a small part in the film, “Beloved.” In 1992, Ms. White wrote “Life As An Actress: A Mystery Story,” an autobiographical essay for Revealing Women’s Life Stories: Papers from the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Ms. White died of cancer on July 24, 2011 in New York City at the age of 88.
