Photo recap: "Dress Rehearsal" Boys & Girls Club Benefit

Last Friday, local designer Emma Berg showcased ten colorful, brand-new looks at the Boys and Girls Club kickoff benefit fashion show, "Dress Rehearsal," at a ballroom of a mansion in Deephaven, Minnesota. The collection was adorned with jewelry, headpieces and handbags by jewelry designer Stephanie Lake, who chaired the event. I assisted with styling, and l'etoile magazine (for which I am fashion editor) was the event's print sponsor. Here is a look at some of the designs from the runway show by Eric Melzer for l'etoile.
