inned! A Designer Chess Challenge – a night of chess and fashion co-sponsored by World Chess Hall of Fame and Saint Louis Fashion Fund – recently captivated guests at St. Louis’ Windows On Washington. The event marked the opening ceremony of the 2017 Sinquefield Cup and the unveiling of the winning design for Pinned! This unforgettable night of fashion, chess and music featured fashion designer and DJ Timo Weiland and original designs by the six inaugural designers of the Saint Louis Fashion Incubator. A first-of-its-kind designer challenge, Pinned! celebrated the intersection of chess and fashion. Each designer created an ensemble for today’s chess player, in competition to win a $10,000 scholarship prize. Audra Noyes won. Co-chairing the event were Katie Ackerman and Tiya Lim.
