Romona Keveza Fashion Show and Bridal Event

Last Thursday The Bridal Salon at Stanley Korshak hosted a breathtaking Romona Keveza fashion show and bridal event. The event started with a cocktail hour in Hakim Sons Film Studio, complete with antique roses by Todd Events, hors d’oeuvres, and bubbly.

Following the cocktail hour, everyone took their seats in the Garden Room at Rosewood Crescent Hotel to have a glimpse into Romona Keveza’s newest bridal and formal gown collection.

The fashion show commenced with a parade of timeless white wedding dresses set to the recognizable track from Downton Abbey, evoking memories of the hit show’s two recent weddings.

Themes included lace, beading, and hues of mint in a variety of shapes and lengths. A few of the models even adorned vintage tiaras by Fred Leighton, finishing the ultimate bridal looks.

The fashion show also featured bright colored formal gowns perfect for the mother of the bride or groom. Bold blues, yellows, emeralds, and reds were a spectacular sight in all silhouettes coming down the runway.

Romance was in their air during the finale of the show, where one of the models, donning a mint princess gown, received her very own fairy tale ending – a surprise proposal!

She said yes! The entire room was filled with even more excitement and joy as the newly engaged couple celebrated their new beginning. 
 

After the proposal, the crowd moved to the Bridal Salon where the celebration continued with more champagne, wedding cake from Dallas Affaires, and a meet-and-greet with the designer herself. Cheers!

ESD Fashion Show & Luncheon

The annual ESD Parents Association Fashion Show and Luncheon took place last week at Brookhollow Country Club. I’ve never been to this event before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had watching the seniors and their moms playfully strut their stuff in looks from The Shak and Men’s. Runway poses ranged from blowing kisses, to Tebowing (a la Tim Tebow), to flexing, and more.

Although the runway show had everyone laughing, the best part of the event was when the Parent’s Association presented a hefty check to Father Swann. It’s been a rough year for ESD, and the $541,000 check, the largest Parent’s Association donation EVER, really showed that the community is ready and willing to rally around their school.

St. Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show

Today marked the 28^th annual St. Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show benefiting the Leukemia Lymphoma Society at the Hilton Anatole hotel. The event featured spring looks from Stanley Korshak and was chaired by Kristina Whitcomb, Angela Nash, and Bunny Cotton. And for the first time in two years, there was no snow or ice; actually it was almost springy for the spring show!

According to the show’s producer, Jan Strimple, “The St. Valentine’s Day Fashion Show is always the first fashion show of the spring season, and it sets the stage for what spring should look like for Dallas women.”

So, without further ado, here’s what we think you should be wearing this spring:
