Ikram

Shopping fanatics visiting Chicago should make this venerable boutique their first stop. Often referred to as Chicago’s “first lady of fashion,” Ikram Goldman’s namesake store is a great source for top labels like Proenza Schouler, Rick Owens, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Lanvin, Yohji Yamamoto and Miu Miu. In addition, the 16,5000-square-foot space features an art gallery and a lovely café on the second floor perfect for some post-purchasing refueling. The bright red flagship carries chic finds you won’t find anywhere else, which is why her clients include Michelle Obama and well-dressed folk who come to Chicago from around the world to shop at the storied boutique.
