The Shops - Fathers Day Edition

FashionBar LLC presents The Shops!

The Shops: Father’s Day Edition will take place this June at Water Tower Place! Celebrate dads and father figures with unique gifts and stylish finds from local fashion, beauty, and wellness brands. From apparel and accessories to self-care essentials, discover the perfect way to show your appreciation. This pop-up brings together designers and entrepreneurs in one of Chicago’s premier retail destinations, open to the public and Water Tower Place shoppers.

The Shops is a fashion and accessories pop-up by FashionBar Chicago, hosted at Water Tower Place in downtown Chicago — one of the city’s premier high-end retail destinations.

We are seeking fashion designers and brands to participate as vendors in a 9x9 space for a single day (Saturday or Sunday). This is a valuable opportunity to market your brand, gain commercial exposure, meet new clients, and promote or sell your goods and services. The Shops is open to both the public and Water Tower Place shoppers throughout the weekend.

Participating brands must have consistent branding with an active website and social media presence. FashionBar prioritizes brand identity that aligns with your target audience and lifestyle offering. Because The Shops is located in the heart of downtown Chicago, branding is essential to engage customers and business partners. We host a high-end retail experience and limit participation to 4–6 carefully curated brands.
