The Belcourt theater is one of Nashville's cultural staples, and what better venue to host a fashion show. Last night marked the closing of the 2nd annual nD festival complete with a fabulous fashion soiree. For those not in the know, the nD festival is a weeklong event set to raise funds for the Belcourt theater and it's many contributions to the arts in Nashville. The event kicked off with silent bidding for prizes donated by several Nashville vendors. After guests mingled, the festivities continued with a 3 part fashion show by designers Jamie and the Jones, Bodkin and Steven Alan. Each collection was preceded by a video presentation to compliment each collection, how very suitable for a movie theater! And of course a night in Nashville is never complete without music. Ears were abuzz with sets by the likes of Holly Williams and Indie country darling Nikki Lane. The festivities were capped off with desserts in the 1966 theater and a dash through the back door!

Last night marked the opening reception of the nD festival held at Elan Salon in Green Hills! When I received the invite I thought it a bit odd to have an opening reception at a salon, and much to my suprise, the atmosphere was very fitting for the event! Each entryway was flanked by a gorgeous installation of ballerinas from Nashville Ballet. Each girl modeling some heavy duty up dos looking supremely divine in jewelry by Sleeveless. Amongst the events fashionables were some of my fellow Nashville Fashion bloggers, Alicia Boswell of Nashville Fashion Events, Carla Antonelli of Stella Shops, Sierra Jacobson of Lookbookmag.com and Zarna Surti of Zarnasrunway.blogspot.com. Before leaving for the evening I had the great pleasure of running into my favorite Nashville Fashion maven Libby Callaway as well as the gals from Jamie and the Jones. Can't wait for the show on Sunday!
Big thanks to Rose Mary Gorman and Elle Long
