Lemon wasn’t the only color represented in the LimonCELLO luncheon, but it was by far the most prominent. The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center was decorated in with elaborate florals, specifically the iconic de Boulle vintage yellow truck overflowing with blue and yellow blooms.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s annual Fashion Notes luncheon was held April 29, honoring Highland Park’s own Mackenzie Brittingham as the recipient of the Fashion Design Award.
Brittingham showcased her couture, luxury evening wear, custom gowns, and Fur Collection, styling the looks with fur draped over shoulders and exotic handbags. The designs complimented the venue’s beautiful towering arches of lush greenery, accented with lemons and flowers in every shade of yellow. The collection was inspired by Italy’s sun-drenched coasts and the rolling hills of Tuscany.
“Being recognized by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League in this way is incredibly meaningful to me—especially after such a beautiful and inspiring event,” Brittingham said. “Fashion Notes represents the heart of what makes Dallas so unique, and I’m deeply honored to have been part of this year’s initiative.”
The event was chaired by Meredith Allen Connally, Amy Green, and Elizabeth St. Marie who were joined by Honorary Chairs Anne and Bill Seanor, and DSOL President, Claire Catrino.
Fashion Notes brings together Dallas leaders, philanthropists, and tastemakers to support the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s education and outreach initiatives, including Young Strings and Young Musicians, which provide free instruments and music lessons to children in the Dallas community.
“As we were planning this event, we embraced the theme ‘LimonCELLO’ — honoring both the Dolce Vita of Italy where the cello was invented as well as the DSO’s Young Strings students whose dedication to their craft inspires us all.” Catrino said.
