Capitol File Magazine & Lauren Bush Get Fashion Forward In Chevy Chase!

CHEVY CHASE, Md. -- Billed as “a single city block of highly advanced style,” The Collection at Chevy Chase more than lived-up to its reputation on Tuesday evening, as Capitol File Magazine hosted a private anniversary party for the neighborhood timed to coincide with the launch of the publication’s Spring Fashion issue.

With cover personality Lauren Bush (otherwise known as the soon-to-be Lauren Lauren with her pending nuptials to Ralph Lauren’s 39-year-old son, David) serving as the night’s guest of honor, hundreds of stylish Washingtonians turned-out for the private affair held inside a crisp white tent just off of Wisconsin Avenue.

The evening’s guest list boasted many of the city’s best-dressed, including representatives from a variety of luxury brands and fashion houses.
From the army of valets that greeted them at the curb to the platters of both sweet (gourmet push-up pops) and savory (bites of fresh lobster) treats being passed around to the open Belvedere Vodka bars, guests – which included many of the city’s style icons as well as representatives from luxury brands like Tiffany & Co., Gucci, and Louis Vuitton -- were provided with a truly memorable evening from start to finish.

Gourmet push-up pops were but one of the treats being circulated about last night’s party.
A philanthropist and activist, in addition to a fashion model, designer, and businesswoman, Lauren delivered a series of brief remarks midway through the celebration thanking everyone for their support and highlighting the accomplishments of FEED Projects, a program that she co-founded in 2007 benefiting the United Nations World Food Program.

Guests were given the opportunity to purchase a variety of FEED bags in support of the United Nations World Food Program.
Lauren, along with Capitol File Magazine Editor-in-Chief Kate Bennett and Publisher Sarah Schaffer, then graciously spent the rest of the evening talking with guests, posing for photographs, and even briefly jumping behind the makeshift sales counter that had been setup at the back of the tent, to sell a few FEED bags, much to the delight of stylish D.C. do-gooders!
