Last night was one of the most anticipated events of the season – the FW (Fashion Washington Launch) held at the Georgetown home of Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn. An amazing party tent turned the yard into an almost Bryant Park-like afterparty, and DC’s most stylish came to celebrate high fashion’s introduction to the city.
FW is a newspaper sized glossy publication that will focus on luxury fashion… and how Washingtonians can wear it. Those at the fete got a preview of the first issue, which everyone else will be able to see Wednesday. Shoots for these publications will be at the most interesting places in Washington – the first was at the AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center in Silver Spring. 
I’m sure one of the most popular sections of the monthly publication will be “Scene Stealers,” where FW showcases who’s wearing what to events around town. Michelle Fenty is sure to be featured there often. She looked stunning last night as she accepted an award for being FW’s 1st most fashionable.
Above I pose in front of the step-and-repeat with Pamela Sorensen, Anne Lee, and Tara de Nicolas. At left, I am with style guru and e
yebrow expert Erwin Gomex (he has his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame!). And below, I’m with FFP Producer and Stylist (and Svelte-TV host) Elaine Mensah.
*In true DC style, most party-goers wore some fashionable variation of black. Since I expected that most would attempt to stand out at this fashion fete and wear bolder choices, I thought I would be going against the norm. Should have done like Elaine… but at least I love my dress. I’m wearing Reiss.
