While Washington is not quite known for its fashion prowess, a couture feeling was in the air this weekend for the annual All Access Fashion events at Tysons Galleria. Produced by The Aba Agency, All Access is part of Tysons Galleria’s signature annual event which benefits Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, which grants the wishes of children facing life-threatening illnesses. The event was sponsored by Pepsi.
Driving the festivities was Friday night’s fall/winter collection runway show, presented by Intermix and hosted by Emmy Award winning costume designer Eric Daman of Gossip Girl fame.
Attendees crowded rows lining the runway, ready to challenge any New York or Miami persona who would say DC doesn’t know how to do fashion. The show absolutely had anyone nearby stopping in their tracks, trying to catch a glimpse. The spotlight was on all the must-have looks and styles for the new season as Intermix prepares to unveil a new 1,700 square-foot boutique in Tysons.
Designers featured included Rag & Bone, ALC, Helmut Lang, Diane von Furstenberg, Mason, J Brand, Mulberry, Philip Lim, Herve Leger and Jimmy Choo.
The fall wind is blowing in the air and after this show, there’s no doubt about what styles are a MUST.
