Wednesday night, The Washingtonian held a party in honor of the 2009 Style Setters at the Liaison Capitol Hill Hotel rooftop. View pictures of the party by clicking here.
Read on to find out more about this year's group of Style Setters.
For this year’s “best dressed” feature, we set out to find confidently fashionable Washingtonians. These 18 men and women are comfortable in their skin and know what makes them look good. There are other bright fashion lights in Washington (hello, Desirée Rogers), but this mix of well-known and under-the-radar style devotees shows that Washington isn’t, as the joke goes, “Hollywood for ugly people.” We also asked those who know our style setters what makes their sartorial choices so special.
Check out our video below of some of the most stylish folks in Washington. To see the full spread, head here.
