Time Out Chicago / Issue 54: March 9, 2006 - March 16, 2006

What's in store

Forces of Habit, While nine-to-fivers might not normally make a late-night event, a free sneak peek at four Chicago designers' spring collections may get them to pop a No-Doz. Six-month-old design collective Habit's fashion show on Wednesday 15 features looks by recent Columbia College grads Anna Ehrler and Dieter Kirkwood; School of the Art Institute senior Abigail Glaum-Lathbury; and Habit proprietor Lindsey Boland, whose styles range from leather-inlaid silk dresses to "earthy, '80's roller girl-type" garb. The show trades the traditional catwalk for stationary models perched on pedestals positioned around the room and attendees can place custom orders on the spot.  —Jessica Herman
