Wood dresses, vinyl gowns: Photos from 9th annual Cosmo Couture DC fashion show

WASHINGTON — At Thursday’s 9th annual Cosmo Couture DC fashion show, models strutted down the catwalk donning garments made of the finest … interior design material?

Tile, carpet, wood, vinyl, glass and rubber were the focal points of the fashion show and charity event that featured collaborations between local interior design and architecture firms. This year, designers were asked to center their pieces around the theme “lore.”

This year’s Cosmo Couture DC took place at the Washington National Cathedral and was presented by the Washington Metro City Center of the International Interior Design Association Mid-Atlantic Chapter.
