What happens when the Randolph Street Market gets some of Chicago’s TOP Tastemakers including Editors, Stylists and Interior Designers (many from our Designer Advisory Board) together for a good cause? Incredible treasure hunting, mingling, and shopping galore all to benefit charity!
The 9th annual installment of Editor’s and Designer’s Choice for Charity featured treasure hunters from premier media outlets alongside some of Chicago’s finest Interior Designers and Stylists including Ash Street Interiors, PROjECT Interiors, Amanda Wolfson Styling, Brianne Bishop Design, Dual Concept Design, Interior Spaces, Jasmin Reese Interiors, Johanna Lowe, Karen Carpino Design, Mango Mist Designs, Michelle Williams Interiors, Platinum Coast Designs, Shakoor Interiors, Siren Betty Design, Simeone Deary, Tom Stringer Design Partners, and SKIN to discover the BEST of what the Market had to offer. Participants were given the task to find their three โFave Itemsโ, โBest Boothโ, โRunner Up Boothโ and for the first time, โBest in Show Vintage Motorcycleโ.
Armed with clipboards and a limited amount of ribbons, our Tastemakers scoured the aisles for the Best of the Best narrowing down their top picks. By midday Saturday, the selections were made and market-goers enjoyed shopping the Editorโs and Designerโs coveted finds-AND the best part, a portion of the proceeds of all sales went to charity!
The votes have been tallied and this yearโs Winners for Best Booth, Runner Up Booth and Best In Show are:
Best Booth: Megilicutti
Runner Up Booth: Strange Lovely
Best in Show: Ducati from Burt Richmond
With many of the tagged items sold, we are extremely excited to be cutting a check to each of the great causes our participants selected.
