Vika by Vika Brown

Brown’s self-titled brand is full of uber-feminine tops in shiny, jewel-toned silk, sporting delicate folds and pleats (pictured). She also opened her own boutique, Eclectica, in a small but stunning garden-level Lincoln Park space in the fall.

You’ll recognize: Her platinum-blond hair and Ukrainian accent

First design attempt: Staying up late to sew a beige dress with a brown collar all in one sitting at age 10

Cost: $150-$350 for tops, jackets and dresses

Also at: Eclectica, Wolfbait & B-girls and Habit
