Washington’s best dressed gathered at The Showroom on September 7, 2017 for Washingtonian’s annual Style Setters event. This celebration honored the area’s nine most fashionable men and women featured in our September issue. Along with the 2017 Style Setters and their guests, invitees included past award winners, fashion bloggers, members of the retail industry, and the media. Party-goers sipped Whispering Angel rosé, enjoyed delectable light bites of both sweet and savory fare by Relish Catering, and showed off their style in a Whispering Angel-branded GIF photobooth. Attendees also had the opportunity to touch up their makeup at an interactive Lip Bar powered by Sanctuary Cosmetic Center. Social Supply transformed the venue with striking decor elements including a waterfall chandelier, complemented with dramatic pink and purple uplighting by John Farr Lighting. Highway to Hill Flowers decked bars and tables with lush pastel florals, while Mixing Maryland kept guests entertained with lively music all evening.
