Shirley Kienitz-Bruiser & Jenny Stadler-Brazen, Wolfbait & B-Girls
What inspired you to open your store?
"We were both selling our lines, Bruiser and Brazen Judy, to other stores when we met. Having a studio space to work in that would double as venue to showcase our collections as well as other upstart designers was a goal we shared."
Who is the coolest customer you’ve ever had?
"Getting to chit chat with people who prioritize supporting local talents in the shop shows you how cool all of Chicago is!"
Wolfbait & B-Girls, 3131 West Logan Boulevard (at Milwaukee Avenue); 312-698-8685.
