Get into the spirit of the fall fashion season at the Ladew Topiary Gardens’ fall fashion show, October 25 and 26. The event, in honor of Ladew’s 35th anniversary, kicks off with a lecture by Paper Doll Editor-at-Large Mary Ellen Brown, followed by lunch and a fashion show featuring Luli, a line by Baltimore native Becky Hathaway. Becky’s chic, sophisticated collection comes from around the world and runs the gamut from unique (mink-trimmed embroidered tunics) to classic (silk wrap blouses, velvet pants). Clothes will be available for sale in the Ladew Barn Gallery after the show. Tickets are $25 for the lecture and $60 for lecture lunch and the fashion show.

Owner Sarah Klinefelter decided the time had come to retire. Her store stood out for its selection of cocktail dresses, evening gowns, costume jewelry and the perfect little gift. The store, its staff, and owner will be missed.
