Unlike traditional fashion boutiques, the Chicago-based menswear store 'RSVP Gallery' displays its high-end pieces and exclusive finds in an intimate, gallery-style setting. With luxury brands such as Commes Des Garçons and Alexander McQueen mixed in with streetwear staples such as Nike and G-Shock, RSVP Gallery is a unique retail concept that those attending Trend Hunter’s Chicago innovation conference won’t want to miss.
RSVP Gallery is an intimate, lower-level store located in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood. Similar to a gallery, the boutique features a great deal of open space broken up by curated displays of contemporary men's clothing. However, instead of bright and airy decor, the store features black ceilings and neon green lights, which play up the brand's streetwear vibes. As a result, the shop serves as an unpretentious setting for shoppers looking to score exclusive items.
