CSM: A Style Maven's Diary...: [Chicago Fashion Event] Cotton Candy Couture: A Statement Maker's Dream Come True!

Jenna Zielbauer, Designer & Owner of Cotton Candy Couture

On Thursday, April 12th I was invited to preview the inaugural Fall/Winter cocktail dress collection of Chicago's newest fashion addition: Cotton Candy Couture. Designer & Owner, Jenna Zielbauer is no newbie to the Chicago Fashion Scene. She's taken her years of experience and provided a solution to every fashionista's worst nightmare: Showing up to an event in the same dress as someone else or even worse, being compared to someone else who wore your dress. The premise behind Jenna's label, Cotton Candy Couture, is to offer statement making dresses that are electric, bold, fun and will never be forgotten. Most importantly, each collection is strategically produced in limited quantities so that you will never have to worry about the "who wore it best" moments anymore.

The preview launch was held at Candyality, located inside of the Water Tower Place. It was such a picturesque display to feature the Fall/Winter collection right above the display "Candy Never Goes Out Of Style". Each dress is a handmade creation of candy & gum wrappers. If you are in the area or shopping in the Water Tower Place this store is a definite "must-visit" for their uber cool museum alone.

Jenna's, Cotton Candy Couture Fall/Winter 2012 collection is summed up by two words: "Statement Maker". The collection's core fabrications are of luxe rich velvets, and silks. Key fall trends of texure, feathers and bows are very apparent in this collection. Each silhouette and cut is evident that it was shaped highlight the feminine physique. If you are faint fashion hearted, then this is definitely not your collection. But if you are in search of a statement maker that is of luxe fabrications, flattering silhouettes and exotic trims then you will not want to miss out on this amazing boutique collection of cocktail dresses!
