Most fashion shows ask you to sit down, stay quiet, and watch. The Exhibition Two is asking you to show up, dress up, and feel something. That difference is intentional — and it begins with the woman behind the vision.
The Vision — Anastasia Elektra
“Fashion and the party have always lived in the same world. This show is proof they belong on the same stage.”
Anastasia Elektra has built her career at the intersection of aesthetics and energy — as a designer who understands construction, and as a model scout who understands presence. But the vision she brings to The Exhibition Two goes beyond either role. She saw something that the industry often separates: a great fashion show and a great night out are both chasing the same feeling. They both want to move you. They both want you to remember how you felt walking into the room.
This show was built around that idea. The Exhibition Two is not a runway show with a party added afterward. The fashion and the atmosphere are designed together and experienced together — the clothes, the crowd, the music, the movement, and the room all becoming part of one intentional moment.
“The mission is to bring diversity, unite Chicago, and make it the next big fashion city.”
To bring that vision to life, Elektra built a producing team that reflects it. College Beyond knows how to make a room feel alive, bringing experience in shaping some of Chicago’s most electric event moments. Kat Walk Global brings modeling culture, craft, and a community-first approach to the talent side of the production. Together, the three producers are not just organizing an event; they are proving that fashion and celebration were never meant to be kept apart.
Supporting the core team are World Class Model Agency, providing professional talent infrastructure, and Coco Sharp, whose involvement as a collaborator and assisting force adds another layer of credibility to what is shaping up to be one of Chicago’s most anticipated fashion events of the year.

The five featured designers represent the range and ambition behind the show — diverse voices, distinct aesthetics, and a shared belief that Chicago fashion deserves a bigger stage. Their work will not only be seen on a runway, but inside a room that is alive around it.
That is what Anastasia Elektra understands so clearly: clothes hit differently when the energy in the room is right. The Exhibition Two gives Chicago both at the same time.
Fashion moments like The Exhibition Two also connect to a wider movement of independent designers and cultural storytellers gaining visibility on major stages. Just last September, Lara Dizeyee’s Milan Enchanted lit up Fashion Week with a presentation that celebrated style, identity, and global creative presence — a reminder that fashion is at its strongest when it carries both beauty and meaning.
That same spirit runs through The Exhibition Two. It is not just about what appears on the runway, but how the room feels when fashion, music, people, and culture come together.
