Rock the Runway DC @ VIDA Fitness Penthouse Pool & Lounge – The Yards
Jul 18 @ 8:00 PM – Jul 19 @ 1:00 AM

Music and fashion go together like love and marriage, they are inseparable; and, like any creative industry, they find innovative ways of thriving through collaboration. Musical accompaniment to collections convey the aesthetic of a designer’s work in ways which presenting the collection on its own, cannot. Creativity is style. In recent years, the music has been, literally, amplified. Live music is now adding to the manifestation of runway; the shows of many major fashion houses now like concerts, its musicians their muse.

Haute Haus Agency presents the latest concept to DC fashion… Rock the Runway DC, a fashion-music-infusion like no other. Guests will be presented with an original couture fashion show, haute gift bags, cocktails, live original music, and more – all surrounding the pool with a DC skyline view. Headlining designer is fashion powerhouse Marchesa graciously lending its iconic collections. A portion of the proceeds benefit Music Unites, the leading charity organization supporting music education around the world.

VIP guests include: T.H.E. Artist Agency’s Lynda Erkiletian and Elizabeth Centenari (all models donated by T.H.E. Agency), Grammy-nominated artist Wayna, actress Jamie Hyder (Graceland and True Blood), Music Unites founder Michelle Edgar, and a surprise musical guest that will knock your stilettos off! 

WHAT: Rock the Runway DC, a live couture runway show atop VIDA’s penthouse pool set to live original music.

WHO: 300 of DC’s chicest fashion community; including couture brands, trend setters and industry leaders for an evening of fashion, rock, and philanthropy benefitting Music Unites.

Lafayette 148 Presentation with Emmy nominated costume designer Daniel Lawson @ Saks Fifth Avenue Chevy Chase
Sep 26 @ 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

This season, Emmy nominated costume designer Daniel Lawson will be joining Lafayette 148 New York for an exclusive fashion presentation at Saks Fifth Avenue at Chevy Chase, Maryland on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 11am.

“I can always rely on Lafayette 148 New York for their chic, elegant and modern looks to put on my leading ladies,” says Lawson who has been using Lafayette 148 designs on CBS’s critically acclaimed drama series “The Good Wife” starring Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski and Chris Noth, and is often cited as one of the “best dressed shows on TV.”

Lawson will be joined by Kate Bennett of Politico’s “The KBG File,” for the fashion presentation to discuss Fall 2015’s biggest trends for both work and those off-duty moments.

Guests at the event will learn how to style the new collection for work as would Julianna Margulies’s The Good Wife character, enjoy champagne and sweet treats, and have the opportunity to work with Dan Lawson one-on-one after the presentation.  Interested guests can reserve their space by emailing RSVPChevyChase@s5a.com. The event will also feature ‘instant pretty’ make up consultations by Bobbi Brown.

The Lafayette 148 New York Fall 2015 collection is a nod to the 70’s done in a soft neutral gray palette.
