Ms. Kern’s suit is by Sophia Sitbon which she purchased at Bottega Contessa on Delaware St. in Chicago. Her hat was designed for her by Silvia Richards of Hat and Soul, a New York millinery firm. Her choker was a bracelet copied from one that was made for the Hungarian Queen Beatrix. It was made into a necklace by F.K. Jewelers which is located in the Foundry in Barrington, IL.
