Chicago designer Elise Bergman shows at NY Fashion Week

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off in New York tomorrow—and one Chicago designer is getting ready to show three looks on the opening day. Elise Bergman (pictured left) was chosen by Diet Pepsi and fashion expert Simon Doonan to take part in the Diet Pepsi Style Studio Runway Show at Lincoln Center with three other designers from across the country. We've been big fans of Bergman's classic and elegant designs for years, so it's great to see the designer in front of a wider audience (take note, Anna Wintour!). Can't make it to NYC on a day's notice to see the show? (Yeah, we can't either.) You can always check out Bergman's women's clothing in person at her studio within in the Roslyn boutique.
