This evening, you'll want to find yourself front-row for a fashion show presented by Akira. All proceeds from the show benefit the Lyric Opera, a mainstay in the Chicago arts community. Tickets are $25 for general admission, with an assigned seating VIP option for $75. All tickets include a pre-show reception at 5:30 pm with cocktails, yummy bites, and a special performance by Mezzo Soprano Emily Fons. The show begins at 7:30pm and is presented by Ford Models so expect lots of pretty young things on the runway and in the audience. Don't forget all the gorgeous spring looks, too, from the likes of Seychelles, Chinese Laundry, Sebago, Ben Sherman, Hudson, Akira, and more. Catch hot spring looks while benefiting the arts? Sing it!
