A 2022 Announcement
On behalf of Driehaus Design Initiative, please join us in honoring the legacy of our founder, Richard H. Driehaus. We're thrilled to announce Mr. Driehaus imparted the opportunity to continue our mission and support the Chicago design schools.
While we will not host the Driehaus Fashion Awards in 2022, we are fulfilling our annual tradition of awarding grants to the schools. We hope to see all our generous supporters in the near future, as the city's top fashion students develop and showcase their talent. Please continue to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for further updates.
