Each year the Dallas Society of Visual Communications hosts a regional competition, The Dallas Show, to identify and acknowledge the best work done in the areas of print design, advertising, copywriting, photography, illustration, broadcast and several other categories. The competition is stiff, and just having work accepted confers bragging rights. Winners will be announced on June 9 at the awards ceremony. Fingers crossed! Here are the five pieces Banowetz has in the show:

One of my favorite events each year is Fashion Week in New York, where top looks by the hottest names in fashion design parade up and down the runway, giving us a sneak peek at what’s in store for the next season. Here is a bit of info on a few of my favorite designers and links to their fall 2016 collections. Enjoy:
Brandon Maxwell
Some know him as Lady Gaga’s stylist and BFF, but Brandon Maxwell has made a name for himself in the fashion world, debuting his second collection at NYFW which features simple, elegant silhouettes in black and white.

My Favs
Delpozo
Delpozo is a luxury brand based in Madrid under the creative direction of Josep Font. With elaborate floral details, embellishments and stunning color combinations, the fall 2016 ready-to-wear collection seems to have stepped out of a daydream.

My Fav
Naeem Khan
Naeem Khan’s fall 2016 ready-to-wear collection featured spectacular Art Deco–inspired red, black, gold and gunmetal gowns. However, the finale was the most memorable moment. Having partnered with Make –A–Wish Foundation, Khan made Trinity Faith Moran, an eleven-year-old cancer-fighter who dreams of being a model, his guest of honor. Trinity wore a custom gown designed by Khan and closed the show by walking in the finale.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — the sweets, the shopping, the festivities. And for us, the Banowetz holiday dinner. Each December, we wrap up our year with a celebratory evening of great food, just a few cocktails and lots of laughter. This year was no exception. Team Banowetz and all of our significant “plus ones” shared a fabulous meal at Tillman’s Roadhouse in Bishop Arts — a chic little spot with an interior designed by well-known party planner, Todd Fiscus. We took over the private dining room (an absolutely lovely space) and kicked off our holidays in style. Thanks to our fearless leader, Leon, for a wonderful evening!
