OUR HISTORY
As one of the first fashion boutiques to make their home in Bucktown, Chicago's venerable shopping district, p.45 is a landmark destination for innovative clothing and accessories from new talent discoveries as well as internationally recognized collections.
Founded by partners Tricia Tunstall and Jessica Darrow in October 1997, the two style experts met while working for the corporate offices of The Body Shop Skin and Hair Company and became fast friends. Their friendship quickly gave way to a partnership when Tunstall and Darrow realized their strong sense of business and management skills coupled with their enthusiasm for fashion were the perfect ingredients to start a boutique of their own.
Almost immediately after opening their doors, p.45 blazed through the media and the trend patrol as the "must stop" destination for style mavens and the fashion forward. As a result of p.45's success, the partners expanded their shop to the internet, where they launched www.p45.com in 1998, propelling their presence nationally.
In 2004, Jessica Darrow departed to pursue her aspirations in the non-profit world, allowing long time employee Judy Yin Keller to join in as manager/junior partner. Since then, p.45 has maintained their commitment to high quality merchandise and unprecedented customer service.
Echoing a firm belief in promoting individual style, p.45 makes sure to stock a variety of selections from a carefully edited collection of designers. Pieces are handpicked from both national and local designers, resulting in a diverse blend of products that allow p.45's clients to build a wardrobe that fits within their lifestyle, creating a look that is both fashionable but functional.
p.45 began as a pioneer over 10 years ago and has now secured itself as a neighborhood staple. p.45 has received media recognition from InStyle, Elle, Travel & Leisure, The New York Times, Glamour, Bazaar, Crains, WWD, and is regularly mentioned in Lucky, Chicago Magazine, CS, Time Out Chicago, and Daily Candy. For more information call 773.862.4523 or email info@p45.com.

p.45 was one of our favorite boutiques in the country when Lucky launched more than a decade ago: It's still spot-on, offering labels like Winifred Grace, Lizzie Fortunato Jewels and 3.1 Phillip Lim. |

p.45 was one of the first trendy boutiques to open in Chicago's Bucktown district, an edgy part of town that's lately become H.Q. for local artists. Founded in 1997 by Tricia Tunstall and Jessica Darrow, p.45 led the charge, stocking their racks with hip local designers and up-to-the-minute New York and Los Angeles styles hard to find anywhere else. To mark their ten-year anniversary, Tunstall (Darrow left the shop in 2004) tapped interior designers and fellow Chicagoans Michael Koehler and Jordana Joseph to revamp the store from the inside out. They laid down pale sugar-maple flooring and wrapped the walls in grass wallpaper. The highlight-literally-is a gleaming white checkout counter. p.45's bright spare ambience plays off of the subtle styles Tunstall markets: minimalist dresses from places like Breed and Development and simple geometric jewelry from Bing Bang. Like the neighborhood it anchors, p.45 has matured from a gritty, underground design mecca (it used to have industrial strength rubber floors!) to a sleek new home for consistently classy fashion. |

After a three-week renovation hiatus, revered boutique p.45 re-opened as a space transformed. Gone is the signature rubber flooring, giving way to pewter-stain sugar maple and a reconfigured layout that makes the space look twice as big. An authentic arbiter of style (remember, p.45 was a Bucktown pioneer!), owner Tricia Tunstall put together the ultimate design collab. With Michael Koehler leading the design-build charge, his vision was complemented by interior designer Jordana Joseph and fashion designer Shane Gabier, who designed the dressing room curtains-beautiful swaths of color-block fabric that hang like a Mondrian art installation. Against a backdrop of eco-friendly grass wallpaper, Koehler's extra- long, uber-sleek cash wrap-so bright and white it nearly glows-is a showstopper in its simplicity and form. "We wanted to let the personality of the clothes come through," says Tunstall. The clothes definitely pop, but design this good is impossible to ignore. |
