September is good time for the fashion folk here at The Washingtonian—it’s when our annual Style Setters feature hits stands. Though it seems like a long way off, in magazine land you have to plan ahead for these things. Which is why, in the sweltering DC heat, we just wrapped two days of shooting 15 local personalities, each with their own individual fashion sense, decked to the nines in their best fall looks. Though you’ll have to wait for the final portraits, here are a few fun shots we captured around the set.
