Racks and racks of beautiful garments lined the polished concrete floors at Pier 91, site of the annual Nordstrom Designer Preview Fashion Show, held on Thursday, July 23. Thirty-five models dressed in pieces from the dreamy fall collections of Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Valentino and Dries Van Noten, to name a few, strutted their stuff down a runway as guests scribbled notes, snapped photos and took mental notes of which designs were destined for their wardrobes.

The sold-out event, now in its 29th year, draws more than 500 well-heeled partygoers, including Tank Magazine fashion director and Nordstrom collaborator Caroline Issa, Refinery29 senior style editor Annie Georgia Greenberg, event co-chairs Olga Dyckman and Alida Oles and Seattle Art Museum president Julia Younker. A post-runway show shopping sesh–complete with flutes of bubbly and trays of desserts–rounded out the evening.

This year’s Designer Preview helped raise more than $200,000 for the Seattle Art Museum’s upcoming exhibit Intimate Impressionism from the Gallery of Art, which opens October 1.
