The Gaudy God is a filmmaker, designer and vintage dealer with expensive bad taste. Creating under the antithetic he likes to
call “classy trashy”; a mix of high to low pieces composed of
hand-picked 80s’ garments paired with original designs.
Style & fashion are his religion and this spring/summer season
he’s turned to his Bible (the cult classic 80s’ film Heathers)
for inspiration. Filled with cut-outs, lace, wide brim hats,
and strong shoulder pads, this is not your stuffy grama’s attic
vintage. These are clothes that people have worn and will
continue to wear. In blushes, blacks, & whites this collection
is for cute girls and gay guys who aren’t afraid of walking down
the street with a funeral floral arrangement cross around their
neck.
The Gaudy God is a member of Chicago’s underground vintage scene,
operating without a store front, selling his curated vintage
collections at various hosted parties, trunk shows, and pop-up
shops around the city. All vintage is one of one. He accepts
appointments upon request at his Wicker Park showroom.
