Whitney Cameron and Madelaine Lam, Fashion Notes Chairs; Dixey Arterburn, DSOL President

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s Fashion Notes fashion show and luncheon was celebrated at the Kick-Off party at Caitlin Wilson Home Décor and Design, which set the scene amongst Caitlin’s curated designs with delicious hors d’oeuvres, a selection of wine and cocktails, and as a special treat, customized cookies and favor bags for each guest.

Chairs Whitney Cameron and Madelaine Lam, along with DSOL president, Dixey Arterburn, welcomed friends and supporters as they arrived, commenting on what a lovely shop this is and reminded each other to be sure to explore the entirety and not miss any of the lovely vignettes, tabletop displays and different aspects of the collections.
        
A highlight of conversation was the absolutely stunning gown displayed at the entrance which was designed by Esé Azenabor-Grembowski, owner and Creative Director/Head Designer for her namesake brand Esé Azenabor, who was also announced as the Fashion Notes Designer Award Recipient.
          
Madelaine and Whitney welcomed everyone and gave a special thank you to Caitlin for her generosity in hosting this evening’s event. Esé joined in the presentation with an enthusiastic thank you to the chairs and gave some insight into her design inspirations, saying she was honored to be a part of everything Fashion Notes.
          
Joining everyone in the announcements were honorary chairs Dr. Linda Burk and her daughter, Linda Gilmore. Her other daughter, Dr. Jane Gilmore, also an honorary chair, was unable to join in the celebration but has promised to attend the luncheon this fall.
           
Madelaine revealed the theme Bird Song for the luncheon and fashion show, saying to expect everything beautiful, joyful and fleeting, to a rousing round of applause.
