Setting the Scene on the Gold Coast with Carolina Herrera

Scouting locations for our luxury brand experiences is a key part of our creative process at City Country Beach — and truly one of the most important. Here we take a look back at bringing Carolina Herrera to life in a Chicago Gold Coast mansion as glamorous as the collection itself.

The dining room of a notable Chicago home is just one space among many to set the scene for a curated edit of Carolina Herrera evening wear and luxe accessories.

Creating Connection with Intention

At City Country Beach, we believe in the power of immersive storytelling to create authentic connections between people, places, and the luxury brands we partner with.

Scouting locations is one of our favorite parts of the process — and truly one of the most important. The venue sets the scene, and allows for our guests to become immersed in key elements of the collection’s story. Whether in a private residence, a members club, or an unexpected setting, our experiences are designed to bring brands to life with intention, and in elevated ways that make a lasting impression

Unparalleled Elegance in the Heart of the Gold Coast

Last holiday season we were honored to partner with Carolina Herrera to concept and co-host a VIC experience in Chicago. We immediately knew this would require  a venue as striking as the collection itself.  The next morning, we were on a flight to the Windy City where we toured several homes of friends within the CCB community.

Guests enjoyed an opportunity to explore the home and discovered luxe items from the Carolina Herrera collection

We were fortunate enough to find a remarkable private home located in the heart of city’s historic Gold Coast — a neighborhood known for its elegance and Gilded Age charm. The sprawling abode, with its lacquered walls and inlayed marble floors, served as the perfect setting for a curated edit of glamorous evening wear and luxe accessories. Three weeks later, we returned to host the event where we connected with an incredible group of women who welcomed us with open arms.

Community First - A Key Pillar of Our Work

In addition to placemaking, philanthropy consistently remains a core pillar of our work. This particular event supported the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago — one of the city’s longest-standing youth development organizations. We were honored to collaborate with our host, Robin Tebbe, to champion such a meaningful cause.
