BWI 2026 Annual Investor Holiday Party: Parisian Haute Couture
BWI Holiday Soirée: Parisian Haute Couture Edition
Join us for an evening with industry peers as we celebrate the close of the year in the spirit of Parisian haute couture. Dress in your most elegant, fashion-forward look, with inspiration drawn from the timeless glamour of Parisian fashion houses. Enjoy a hosted open bar during the first hour, sounds by DJ Raya, and an evening of conversation, connection, and celebration in an elevated, festive setting.
More On This Year's Theme:
1. Parisian, not Paris
Think Parisian elegance, rather than Eiffel Towers, berets, or obvious French décor. The references should be subtle and elevated.
2. Haute couture
The inspiration is the world of Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Schiaparelli: structured silhouettes, dramatic details, beautiful tailoring, and an appreciation for craftsmanship.
3. Black-tie-adjacent
Guests should feel like they're attending a fashion-forward evening rather than a traditional holiday party. Think:
Floor-length gowns
Sculptural dresses
Sharp tuxedos
Velvet
Satin
Feathers
Statement jewelry
Gloves
Dramatic coats
It should feel like a private holiday soirée at a Paris couture house, not a “French-themed” party.
