About Chicago Hoodies

Hi, I’m Sophia —designer, Chicago native, and the heart behind chicagohoodies.com.

After spending a decade in NYC honing my skills in media and design, I returned to my roots during the pandemic with a mission: to celebrate the neighborhoods, culture, and spirit of the city I call home.

chicagohoodies.com is more than just a streetwear brand—it’s a love letter to Chicago. Each collection is inspired by the neighborhoods I’ve lived in, the communities I’ve been part of, and the stories that make this city so special. From the vibrant streets of Humboldt Park to the historic charm of South Shore, every design is a tribute to the people, places, and moments that define Chicago.

I believe in the power of design to bring people together, to celebrate our shared history, and to create something beautiful out of the places we call home. When you wear a piece from chicagohoodies.com, you’re not just wearing streetwear—you’re wearing a piece of Chicago.

Thank you for supporting this journey and for helping me celebrate the city we love.

With love and gratitude,
Sophia Lewis
