What: The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s ninth annual Fashion Notes Design Award Luncheon and Style Show.

Where: Virgin Hotels Dallas in the Design District.

The Scene: The posh Design District hotel set the scene for a raffle and runway show featuring fashions from St. Johns and jewels from Dallas-based Bachendorf’s. The well-heeled guests then sat for a gorgeous luncheon chaired by Sharon Lee Clark and Kira Nasrat. Lele Sadoughi, the Texas native known for her maximalist headbands and accessories, accepted this year’s featured Fashion Designer Award with support from her mother, Jeri Finkelstein, and her daughter, Shanna Bygott- Webb.
