Event Recap: A Runway Social: What to Wear to This Season's See & Be Seen Events

In late October, one hundred of Valley’s most fashion-forward gathered at Dominick’s Steakhouse to prepare for the social season ahead. The afternoon - a joint effort by Amy Yount and Lisa Stanley of AMY Atelier and MAN Atelier, Amy Ross of Drybar, Amanda Garmany and Natalia Mihilli of Heart Ball, and TSG Editor Sasha Clements - included sips, light bites, and ample fashion.

Guests previewed the looks, expertly styled by AMY Atelier & MAN Atelier and FORD, then were set free to shop. The afternoon was a sartorial success that outfitted the Valley’s well-heeled crowd for the upcoming season’s “see and be seen” events with both trend-setting styles and closet perennials. Keep reading to meet the talented locals who pulled off the gathering and find ample style inspiration for your social calendar.

THE DETAILS

Dominick’s Steakhouse Rooftop provided the perfect setting for the poolside show. Jen Moser of J. Moser & Co. donated her event expertise to ensure every moment of the guest experience welcomed eager shoppers. Special thank you to Scott Foust Studios for capturing the event, FORD Models for providing stunning ladies and gents to model the looks.

Following the show, guests were set free to shop all of the styles and accessories they’d watched sashay down the runway. Champagne in hand, they stocked their closet for the season ahead.

To help them complete their looks, guests were given insider deals to Drybar goodies and services. Getting ready for your own gala? Owner Amy Ross of Drybar AZ recommends investing in the following at-home essentials: Tiny Trio to Go, Straight Up Magic, Glossy Gang on the Go, and Double Shot Jackpot!

Thank you to the fabulously stylish ladies who joined us for a wonderful afternoon of sipping, shopping, and supporting local.
