The Story Behind the Timeless “CHICAGO COLLECTION” by Alesia Chaika - designed in 2012

For more than two and a half years, Chicago-based artist and fashion designer Alesia Chaika devoted herself to creating the CHICAGO COLLECTION — a line of luxurious accessories and high-end gifts designed for those who cherish the beauty, spirit, and architectural poetry of Chicago. Her vision was clear: to craft timeless pieces that celebrate the city while honoring the artistry and craftsmanship behind every detail.

Inspired by her deep love for Chicago, Alesia and her artistic team spent over a month meticulously drawing the city entirely by hand, using only pencil. Each day they sketched one inch at a time, capturing the elegance of Chicago’s skyline, the charm of Navy Pier, and the breathtaking presence of the historic Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, one of the city’s most extraordinary landmarks.
The final illustration — a masterful work measuring 27.5” (70 cm) in length — offers a fresh and artistic perspective on the iconic Chicago skyline.

Once completed, this original pencil artwork was transformed into a collection of pure silk scarves and refined, timeless gifts for both men and women. From luxury accessories to meaningful souvenirs, each piece in the CHICAGO COLLECTION carries the essence of the city, the patience of the artistic process, and the enduring beauty of Chicago’s architectural heritage.
