PART IV OF A SERIES: CHICAGO WOMEN 30 & UNDER Rising talents have the goods -- and the panache
February 7, 2008
BY PAIGE WISER
Chicago is bursting with young talent. This week, we celebrate some of its brightest stars, women ages 30 and under. They couldn't wait to make their impact on the city -- and we can't wait to see what they'll do next.
Kelly Ryan O'Brien, 30
PROMOTER
O'Brien isn't in style. She is style. In New York City, she worked for Donna Karan, throwing parties and styling clients such as Demi Moore, Iman and David Bowie. Back in the Midwest, she became the first national marketing director of Gen Art Chicago, the not-for-profit promoter of emerging artists in fashion, music, film and art. She was poached from Gen Art to become PR and marketing director for Michigan Avenue magazine, the latest glossy lifestyle bible from Jason Binn. It launches in September. And with O'Brien in charge, it will be required reading.
