The Front Row at Bethesda Row Fashion Show 2015 (Photos)

Threatening skies didn't stop the annual Front Row at Bethesda Row Fashion Show under the tent on Bethesda Lane last night. Models wore the latest (and future) styles available from retailers around the Row, such as Bonobos and Sassanova. Georgetown Cupcake founders Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne served as hosts, joining the list of style mavens on hand at the Federal Realty development Friday. Among them were Drybar founder Alli Webb and Donna Karan New York PR guru Aliza Licht, who appeared earlier in the day to sign autographs.

Speaking of Georgetown Cupcake, the popular bakery had a Front Row custom cupcake it was giving away Friday.

Let's take a look at some of the styles on the runway last night:

After a few years of movie and TV stars, The Front Row at Bethesda Row fashion weekend is returning to its fashionista roots with this year's VIP guest, Aliza Licht (better known as @DKNY PR Girl on social media). The event will be held May 28-30 at Bethesda Row.

Licht's new book, Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media., goes on sale today. The Donna Karan senior vice president of global communications is offering advice on being successful in today's so-called "new economy" (a.k.a. we let all our jobs get shipped overseas).

You'll be able to meet Licht and get your book autographed when she appears at the Front Row event this year on May 29, between 5:00 and 6:30 PM. Books will be available for purchase at the signing.

The night before, Thursday, May 28, you'll have a chance to screen this year's fashion motion picture selection, Dior and I, at 7:30 PM at the Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema.

Of course, the main event of the weekend is the fashion show on Bethesda Lane, which will be held Friday night, May 29, starting at 7:30 PM. There will be sales, trunk shows and fashion events at retailers around the Row Thursday, Friday and Saturday that weekend. Stay tuned for more details on those.

For prime seats at the fashion show, and access to VIP events, grab your VIP tickets starting Thursday on Gilt City.
