Carson Kressley, known for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and his new Carson Nation show on OWN - the Oprah Winfrey Network (and new song titled "Tough Go Shopping," with line "When the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping."), was at the launch of the first In-Fashion: The Magnificent Mile Shopping Festival, last Friday, August 26--a two week fashion extravaganza that features tons of events leading up to the third global fashion initiative Fashion's Night Out on September 8.

Carson was at Pioneer Court by the giant flashing Marilyn Monroe statue speaking about various vignettes of fashion, home decor, food and theater inspired by fall trends. Carson was being his goofy self, for instance, he pretended the large tablet was a phone and that he hit his head on the featured sports car (see both pictured above). Carson (perhaps Ellen's long lost twin brother) was the perfect celeb to kick off the exciting fashion festival.
