FashioNext went to NeoCon! As part of the Museum’s partnership with Brentano Fabrics, the FashioNext finalists’ gowns were on display in the main lobby at this year’s NeoCon World’s Trade Fair at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart from June 15-17.

Iris Wang, co-owner of Brentano, describes NeoCon as “Christmas for the interior design industry.” The fair features architects, designers, and other exhibitors from the interior design field showcasing new products and projects. This year, 40,000+ people from around the world were expected to attend NeoCon and FashioNext had prime placement. The display paired the designers’ garments with contemporary chairs from Andreu World that were upholstered in complementary fabrics from Brentano. The combination successfully fused fashion with furniture design and showed off the talents of our three finalists.
