The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s Fashion Notes Luncheon and Style Show honoring Lela Rose was a SOLD OUT affair. Many of Lela’s friends and admirers were there to see the Dallas raised, New York City-based fashion designer receive the Inaugural Fashion Notes Designer Award. It is anticipated that the event will raise a record amount.

Fashion Notes was held on Monday, October 29, 2018 in the Venetian Room at The Fairmont Dallas. The Presenting Sponsor was Veritex Community Bank/Darlene Ellison for the fifth year and the luncheon was underwritten by The Fairmont Dallas.

Dianne Etheredge and her daughter Meagan Etheredge Sells were the Honorary Chairs and Amy Turner was Chairman of the fundraiser. Lisa Loy Laughlin is the DSOL President.

The morning began with a reception and silent auction followed by a fashion show and live auction topped off with a delicious lunch. Fashions were provided by Stanley Korshak, Hip Hip Hooray and St. Bernard Sports. The clothing was modeled by Dallas Symphony supporters including staff and musicians, DSOL Members and former debutantes.
