The Green Mill is a historic and a vintage site in Chicago with its own unique look. This night club holds a warm, sophisticated, and glowing atmosphere. The Mill is filled with deep smoky jazz sounds, played bylegendary figures, such as Sheila Jordan, who I had the privilege to enjoy a few nights ago.
El "Green Mill" es un lugar histórico, y decididamente Vintage, en Chicago con un ambiente único. Este club tiene una atmósfera sofisticada y vibrante. El "Mill" se llena de densos sonidos Jazz, tocados por figuras legendarias como Sheila Jordan, a quien tuve el placer de ver en directo hace unos días.
Here you will find shades of Al Capone's heyday on the walls as you enter and in the famous booth where he and his henchmen could keep a cautious eye on both doors. Every night in the far corner stands Stella, the image of Ceres, Goddess of Harvest. This sculpture was found in the basement of The Green Mill, dusted off, and returned to compliment the authenticity of the early 20th century décor in the light fixtures and lavishly framed artworks. The ambience is stylish and decadent but uniquely comfortable to all audiences as far as they commingle in their mutual respect for the music, and the taste of the best drinks in Chicago! The Mill is a club with such a style achieved breathing new life into old stuff. It seems natural to me have met Patrick there, a fiction writer that is remarkable for creating his own style rather than subscribing to fad trends. He gave me a lesson on how to enjoy fashion in a more creative and sustainable way. He’s wearing a white tank top under a Vichy shirt that is his own design (He customized a bigger garment). The pants were his grandfather’s and the belt is his father’s. His glasses are Ray-Ban and he found the shoes in an alley! In these days of the awareness of re-using and recycling it is incredible what some people just throw away. Our constant craving for something new is choking the earth, and creating style schizophrenics. Wearing Vintage is one way you can be a part of a global effort to produce less. Patrick is a great example of how a little love for your clothes would make all the difference to your look, your pocket and your planet.
Aquí se encuentran rastros de la época dorada de Al Capone, tanto en el muro de la entrada como en el reservado donde él y su banda se sentaban vigilando las dos puertas del local. En el rincón del fondo está Stella, la estatua de Ceres, diosa de la cosecha, que fue encontrada en el sótano, limpiada y devuelta a la sala, para completar la decoración de principios de siglo XX que se respira también en las lámparas y los espectaculares marcos de los cuadros en las paredes. El ambiente es estiloso y decadente pero cómodo para todos los públicos, en la medida en que comulgan en su mutuo respeto por la música y las mejores copas de Chicago! El magnífico estilo del “Mill” se ha creado insuflando nueva vida a los objetos viejos. Me parece lógico haber conocido a Patrick en este club, un escritor de ficción que me destaca por haber creado su propia imagen, en lugar de seguir los dictados de lo que se lleva. Él me dio una lección de cómo disfrutar de la moda de una forma creativa y sostenible. Patrick lleva un tank top blanco debajo de una camis de cuadros Vichy que se hizo él mismo customizando una pieza que le quedaba grande (doy fe de que se la había cosido a mano). Los pantalones eran de su abuelo (atención a las vueltas en el bajo) y el cinturón de su padre. Las gafas son Ray-Ban y los zapatos los encontró al lado de un contenedor! En estos días, en que la preocupación por reutilizar y reciclar va en aumento, es increíble lo que algunos tiran a la basura. Nuestra constante búsqueda de lo nuevo está dañado la tierra y generando un consumo de la moda compulsivo. Llevar Vintage es un modo de contribuir al esfuerzo global por producir menos. Partick es un gran ejemplo de cómo un poco de cariño hacia tu ropa puede marcar la diferencia en tu look, tu bolsillo y tu
planeta.
