Ballerinas and Ballgowns

Models in NM collection gowns

Belles of the Ball gathered for a gown show at Neiman Marcus in Chevy Chase Wednesday night.  Put on by the Women’s Committee of the Washington Ballet to benefit its Jete Society Scholarship Fund, the event gave area women the chance to preview a curated collection of dresses for the upcoming season.

Featured next to the Marchesas, Liancarlos and Tadashis were gowns by Fabiola Arias— on hand at the event — a fresh young artist whose designs have recently been added to the department store’s collections.

Ballet supporters Ashley Taylor, Jennifer Streaks, Taryn Fielder, Alexander Mann and Michele Bachus were among those who oogled over the evening wear, nibbled on craft tea cupcakes made in the ballet season’s Alice in Wonderland theme, entered to win a $600 Neiman Marcus shopping spree, and headed to the PoshBooth to take their own supermodel snaps.
