Talk of the Town by Sherrill Bodine marks the first time the local author and socialite has published a novel under her own name. Her previous 15 award-winning novels were all signed under the pen names Leslie Lynn and Lynn Leslie. “Talk of the Town celebrates the beauty, grace and style of the Chicago woman,” said Dismero designer Andy D’Auria, “This event was a fun way for me to toast to my friend Sherrill’s successes, as well as bring together some of my favorite customers for a night of fashion and romance.” Along with the release of “the red hot read” dubbed by Cosmopolitan, the night featured red hot sex secrets from Dr. Debby Herbenick. The evening sizzled down as Sherrill signed copies of her book for Dismero shoppers.

Dismero fell hard for Factio Magazine this Fall. The Factio Magazine fall Issue launch party at gallery space 4 Art in the Chicago Art District brought real fashion ads to life in hosting Dismero’s latest fashion shoot with designer and founder Andy D'Auria, Italian photographer Marco Pedde and Alessandro Cantoni, Dismero's art director from Italy. Guests enjoyed the first unedited views of the exclusive spread. The party was dotted with beautiful models in the latest Dismero clothing and makeup by the new head of Ulta on State Street, David Barnett – formerly of the John Barret Salon at Bergdorf Goodman. Andy D’Auria couldn’t help himself around all the beautiful guests as he pulled women one by one into the dressing room so that they too could model his new line. Fig Media DJ Megan Taylor shook up the space with cool euro tunes as guests enjoyed an assortment of designer sushi catered by Kohan Restaurant and deliciously sweet drinks accented with rock candies by Hpnotiq. Guests brimmed with goodies on their way home, receiving gift bags with Dismero t-shirts, Factio Magazine’s fall issue, and gift certificates. If you missed out, don’t worry; just make sure to pick up the latest issue of Factio Magazine for yourself!
