Cocktails served at an auction house may sound like a lethal combination but if you add “fabulous fashionistas” and “vintage clothes” to the equation, things quickly sound like a night of pure bliss. Chicago divas with some extra change in their pockets should head to Leslie Hindman Auctioners next week; first on Monday (10am-5pm) for the preview of their vintage clothing and jewelry, then on Wednesday (6pm) for the actual auction. Get to the venue at 5pm for a social hour of “Couture and Cocktails” as department specialist Abigail Rutherford offers a brief disscusioin about incorporating vintage fashion into your current wardrobe.
