Italian Designer Franco Fonati, owner of David 2 Leather Factory, based in Florence, Italy, opted out of holding his annual Trunk & Fashion show at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C this year. Instead, Fonati wanted to have the Trunk & Fashion show in Potomac, 20 miles outside of D.C. for the annual event.
Fonati chose Benny’s Bar & Grill in the Cabin John Shopping Center, one of Potomac’s newest restaurants with the look and feel of the 1940s with seating for 250 guests.
The Trunk and Fashion will run from Wednesday, Feb. 5, through Sunday, Feb. 9 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
