Passport to Style

October 13, 2011 - The Shops at Wisconsin Place in Chevy Chase MD hosted the Passport to Style fashion event in their courtyard area. Just like last year, it was under a big white tent at the corner of Wisconsin Ave and Willard Ave. It makes for a nice open location and outdoor event, yet the weather this day was sketchy. By the time the event started the rain stopped but later on it rained hard. Yet the rain didn't stop the event from happening with everything being under the spacious tent.

Passport to Style gives a fresh perspective on fall fashion and trends, giving inspiration on what to wear, what to add, and how to pull looks together. The event brings together fashion, beauty, food and wine, and it benefits two amazing charities: Hope for Henry and Fashion for Paws. It was wonderful to see everybody come together: adults, children and pets enjoying the evening.

Part of the enjoyment stems from all the wonderful retail stores, products and services represented: Adolfo Dominguez, Anthropologie Accessories, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Bloomingdale's, Cabot Creamery, Circe Salon and Spa, Cole Haan, Eileen Fisher, Georgetown Cupcake, Hope for Henry, ILORI, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Renu Med Spa, Rosa Mexicano, Rue Washington DC, Sephora, Talbots, Tasting Room Wine Bar & Shop, The Capital Grille, Tynan Coffee & Tea, Washington Humane Society's Fashion for Paws, White House | Black Market, Whole Foods Market.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of fall fashion spotlighting looks from a variety of fine retailers: Adolfo Dominguez, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Bloomingdale's, Eileen Fisher, ILORI, Talbots, White House | Black Market. The show was produced by TESstylist. Fall Fashion trends are with: Color Block, Leather, Shine, The Lady (60's classics revisited).
