A Rebel Without a Cause

You said you wanted a revolution.

So you stockpiled sweater dresses, leggings, and tights for fall. But you just keep slipping into the same old pair of jeans.

Sounds like you’re at war with your closet. Make peace at The Denim Revolution. The traveling sample sale is setting up camp in Chicago this weekend and bringing with it more than 3,000 pairs of dungarees (samples, seconds, and overruns), sweats, tops, and belts from designers you know and love.

And though we wish we could name names, we’ve been asked to keep those details closely guarded. What we can tell you is that previous sales, in Dallas and L.A., have featured the likes of James Jeans, Seven for all Mankind, Hudson, Paper Denim & Cloth, Earnest Sewn, Primp, Splendid, and Ella Moss — all at 60 to 80 percent off.

Which should prove once and for all that despite the clearly peace-minded folks behind the event …

Sample sale prices are the bomb.


Sale is Saturday, 5 p.m.-10 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., at The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza, Wolfpoint Room, 350 North Orleans Street, between Kinzie Street and Wacker Drive. R.S.V.P. at thedenimrevolution.com.
