ADL Outreach Network Presents a Screening of SUITED

After developing a neuro-cognitive setback, Daniel Friedman appropriated skills from his former architecture career to develop a unique method of suit design. His company, Bindle & Keep, would evolve to support people of all gender identities and backgrounds whose individual needs were not being met by conventional tailors.SUITED follows clients seeking a personalized experience into Daniel’s minimalist office space, where a holistic approach that considers each client’s personal narrative helps tailor the perfect outfit. From Derek’s emotional journey as he prepares for his wedding, to Everett, a law student in a conservative environment, or Mel, who simply wants to look good for their 40th birthday party—the need for well-fitting garments represents deeper meaning around identity, empowerment, and feeling good. Going deeper than fine fabrics and silk linings, SUITED takes a modern, evolved look at gender through the conduit of clothing and elucidates the private and emotional experience surrounding it. Please join ADL Chicago for a screening of SUITED, followed by a discussion with Daniel Friedman that illustrates the cultural shift creating a new demand—and response—for each person’s right to go into the world with confidence. Drinks and appetizers will be served. Please enter at 115 S. LaSalle (BMO Harris Bank Building entrance) and proceed up the escalator to the third floor. Sign in with security, then proceed to the eighth floor via the elevator bank on your right.
