Not so "official" now

We've always been kind of skeptical about Chicago Fashion Week. It has touted itself as the "official fashion week event in the city of Chicago," when in actuality, it's ran by private entertainment and development company MW Productions, booked more non-Chicago designers than local talent for its two shows and has no relation to the City of Chicago-sponsored Fashion Focus Chicago event run every fall.

Since it took us several calls and e-mails just to get the details about their events to list on Metromix.com, we weren't too surprised when we received a vague e-mail announcement last week that Chicago Fashion Week was indeed cancelled.

Today, Chicago Tribune reported on how the event fell apart:
