Schön! presents Haute Wheels, a three-minute fashion short that brings together more than 50 Chicago artists, filmmakers, designers, and performers. Directed by Jess Batson, co-produced by Batson and Mark Capapas, executive produced by Casey Lock, and edited by Patrick Burke of Method & Madness, the film explores excess, impermanence, and spectacle through a collision of couture, roller skating, performance, and architecture.
Set inside the historic Avalon Regal Theatre, Haute Wheels transforms the landmark into a dreamlike backdrop for custom couture, wigs, grillz, sculptural nails, elaborate props, and other work created specifically for the film. More than a fashion film, the project is a testament to Chicago’s creative community—built through collaboration, volunteerism, and a shared desire to create something ambitious together.
“From the beginning, this project was bigger than the film itself,” said Batson. “Haute Wheels became a reflection of that collective imagination.” The film also shines a spotlight on the Avalon Regal Theatre and ongoing conversations surrounding the preservation of one of Chicago’s most significant historic spaces.
