House of Diehl presents

STYLE WARS CHICAGO

The Style Battle Championship Tour 2007

Featuring Live Style Battling and THE COOL KIDS on decks!

VIP Judges: Nick Cave (SAIC), Agga B, Jo-Jo Baby. Host: CT Couture

Vogue Magazine calls House of Diehl "Punk meets Warhol"...   Michael Musto calls Style Battling "the newest variation on krumping."

8 contenders go head to head to create fast fashion live for the title of Chicago Style Battle Champion, and $1000 in cash and prizes!

Straight outta NYC, inspired by MC battling, Victor & Rolf/Martin-Margiela-style fashion, and mash-up DJ-ing, Style Battling is competitive fashion, created live on stage, in a matter of minutes, using anything from a pair of jeans to an umbrella to a balenciaga bag. Competitors cut, tear, burn, spray-paint, and otherwise destroy/rebuild clothing, live on models or on people pulled from the audience. This is The 8-Mile of Style. WWD meets WWF.

Style Battling is already taking the US and Europe by storm. This is the first time ever in Chicago. Catch this fresh new movement NOW!

House of Diehl has taken style battling all over the world, from supporting Sonic Youth in Europe, to performing to tens of thousands of people alongside Elton John and Versace at the Life Ball in Vienna, to shows at New York's fashion week...

$500 cash award for Style & Innovation donated by Surface magazine's Riley John Donnell.
