A fashion designer for 20 years who previously worked for Geoffrey Beene, Pinto launched her own line in 1991. In January, Pinto arrived at the decision to close her shop and cease wholesale operations, she said. Her daywear, eveningwear, wraps and one-of-a-kind accessories will be liquidated at 50 percent to 70 percent off their original prices. Pinto, whose work has been worn by not only the country's first lady but also queen-of-talk Oprah Winfrey, will open her West Loop boutique for five final days starting Tuesday.
All of the praise for Michelle Obama's grape- and tomato-colored sheaths couldn't bear enough fruit to spare their Chicago-based designer - Maria Pinto - from the recession's blight.
