Unlike fashions worn by our Neanderthal ancestors, modern clothing is fitted, breathable, and requires 50% less woolly-mammoth hide to manufacture. Clothe yourself in mammoth-free garments with today's Groupon to Akira. Choose from the following three options:

• For $15, you get $30 worth of women's apparel and accessories.
• For $15, you get $30 worth of men's apparel and accessories.
• For $15, you get $30 worth of footwear.

Then choose from seven women's locations, two men's locations, or four footwear locations in the Chicago area. This Groupon expires March 3, 2011.

From its modest launch as a women's clothing store in 2002, Akira has expanded to more than 10 retail locations and now stocks a full line of gender-inclusive fashions from well-known men’s and women’s designers. The friendly, trend-conscious team at Akira can help vestment-seekers navigate the hefty stock of designer dresses, jackets, and denim from brands such as True Religion, Hugo Boss, and Diesel. Glissade into pumps from an arsenal of popular solers such as Poetic License and Michael Kors, or slip your toe farms into a pair of retro tennis shoes from New Balance or PF Flyers to impress judgmental street grates. Sport your jaunty new Goorin Bros. hat on an angle to confuse people about the levelness of the floor, or go incognito and shun the paparazzi in a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses. Akira also offers casual attire for businessbeings and professional magicians seeking refuge from the hectic suit-and-cloak-heavy workweek.
