Held on Monday, October 29, 2018 in the Venetian Room at The Fairmont Dallas, 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. 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. Others in attendance included Caren Prothro, Nita Clark, Roxanne Phillips, Julie Turner, Doris Jacobs and daughters Kim Jacobs Calloway and Teffy Jacobs, Stephanie Bray, and Allie Beth Allman.
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. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Dallas Symphony Association and its education and community outreach programs. Some of the quality outreach programs the League supports are: DSO on the Go, Community Concerts and Performances, Cecil and Ida Green Youth Concerts, Symphony Yes!, DSO Kids and Young Strings.
