Always the premier luncheon of the fall season, this year’s Crystal Charity Ball’s Ten Best Dressed Women of Dallas will be presented at the annual Fashion Show and Luncheon at Neiman Marcus Downtown on Friday, September 10. Styled in luxurious looks by featured design house Akris, luncheon chair Alison Farrow, Hall of Fame Honoree Marilyn Augur and the Ten Best Dressed will partake in a sophisticated runway romp, with Akris’ darling designer Albert Kriemler venturing stateside from Switzerland to attend. As the media sponsor of The Crystal Charity Ball’s Ten Best Dressed, PaperCity styles and photographs the official portraits of each honoree and chairman, and presents the portfolio of photographs in the September issue. This year’s photographic session by Tim Boole took as inspiration Kriemler’s Swiss penchant for the unembellished — for modern luxury and uncomplicated elegance. Where to shoot? In one of Dallas’ most elegant contemporary homes, we thought. So we dialed up our friends at Briggs Freeman Real Estate Brokerage and, of course, they had the perfect modern masterpiece on their roster: a stunner designed by Roland Roessner, circa 1967. For all the details and portraits of this year’s Ten Best Dressed, see The Crystal Charity Ball Ten Best Dressed section in this month’s PaperCity, beginning on page 33. Tickets for the fashion show and luncheon start at $500. Information 214.526.5868; crystalcharityball.org.
