It was just recently I was invited to our dear friend's shop, Gamma Player, for a spring collection viewing. Gamma Player is an avante-garde clothing store in Wicker Park that was started by Yoko Uozumi and her renowned DJ husband Jeff Mills. The store specialized in carrying brands exclusively in the U.S. out of Europe and Japan, like Henrik Vibskov and Hussein Chalayan. Gamma Player is the best in Chicago for specialty avante-garde garments. The interior itself is a chic, minimal, dark space, brought to life by the beautiful clothing and soothing house tracks by Mills. Jeff and Yoko are both so sweet and share incredible style and class. They generously asked me to write a newsletter for them linking their merchandise to the current Spring trends. That fun project is on the way.

The special viewing showed beautiful men's and women's collections that could no doubt be worn by either sex. Every piece was unique and out of the ordinary for this Spring. Organic fibers, digital prints, and minimalism were beautiful trends I could spot out of this progressive space. I met some really fabulous people and the viewing was very lovely, Congratulation to Jeff and Yoko!
