SUMMARY:Chicago Fashion Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Fashion Summit 2025 is a one-day event dedicated to elevating the fashion ecosystem in the Midwest. Through keynotes\, breakout sessions\, brand showcases\, & community activations\, the summit brings together designers\, creatives\, retailers\, & innovators to exchange ideas\, build networks\, and reshape the future of fashion. \n\nKeynote Speaker: Azature Pogosian\n \nAZATURE\, also known as the “Black Diamond King”\, designs jewelry informed by his vast influences\, from the craftsmanship and mythology of ancient relics and religion to his cultural heritage\, to modern pop icons like Madonna.

In August 2012\, Azature dived deep into the beauty world and redefined luxury when he created the world’s most expensive bottle of nail polish\, dedicated to his mother and grandmother whom he refers to as his “Black Diamonds”. Consisting of 267 carats of full cut and faceted black diamonds\, the symbol of eternal love and empowerment\, this pricey lacquer retailed for $250\,000\, which sold in the fall of 2013.

With clientele ranging from royalty to Hollywood stars and musicians including Madonna\, Kelly Osbourne\, Jennifer Lopez\, Rihanna\, Fergie\, Britney Spears\, Miley Cyrus\, Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce wearing his exclusive one of a kind designs and nail polish\, it is no wonder why AZATURE remains “The Black Diamond King.” \n\nGuest Speakers\nWe are honored to welcome to the Chicago Fashion Summit stage these inspiring individuals who have made significant contributions in their field \nHost: Iisha Scott\n \nShe is an award-winning Certified Broadcast Meteorologist at NBC Chicago.
