Been There, Done That: Fashion Washington Launch Party

Spent last night at the Fashion Washington launch party. A few thoughts:

1) When I grow up, I want to live in Ben Bradlee’s house. Maybe if he takes pity, I can just have the backyard. It’s beautiful!

2) DC has more stylish people than the world gives them credit for. Project Beltway has the best photos, per usual. Rachel: LOVED your cocktail dress, btw. TrenDC was less than complimentary, but then again, what did you expect from an absurdly-dressed clown man who thinks he’s too good for DC?

3) I did not know that Michelle Fenty had a british accent. A quick search reveals she is Jamacian? She’s beautiful and gracious in person - deserving of the “Most Stylish” award bestowed upon her.

4) I love me some schwag: but is it sad that the FW tee shirt was the coolest item? $50 to the Mandarin Spa is nice, but it isn’t getting you anywhere but in the door.

5) Thank god to the event coordinators (You rock, Molly Gannon and Lisa Goldstein) for not putting those awful draped cocktail tables around the room. Loved the oversized leather couches.

Now off to write the BizBash piece. Check back later for updates!
