The Shops - Pride Edition

FashionBar LLC presents The Shops!

The Shops: Pride Edition will be held this June at Water Tower Place! Celebrate love & identity! From bold fashion statements to unique accessories and wellness products, discover pieces that inspire self-expression and pride. This pop-up is open to the public and Water Tower Place shoppers, offering a vibrant marketplace that uplifts diversity and creativity.

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.
