Hot Spot: Cesco Osteria Restaurant and Co2 Lounge, Bethesda, Maryland
Think London, LA, Meatpacking District, Paris... In the tradition of the hottest international cosmopolitan nightspots, Co2 Lounge debuts on the Metro DC scene in the heart of downtown Bethesda offering a new level of chic sophistication and stylish exclusivity. This luxurious venue's unique multi media arts and music concept, its ultra sexy design, and voguish surroundings both inside and out have set a new bar.
Deets: We loved attending Dar Be Dar's Fashion show featuring local designer Tala Raassi's sexy international-inspired Resort 2014 and Spring/Summer 2015 swimwear lines. Her pieces were bright, elegant and detailed. Guests enjoyed a Dar Be Bar fashion show, live music (house, pop and Persian hits) by DJ BaZZa & Cyrus Reel, gourmet hors d'oeuvres, and artisan cocktails (we indulged in the Blue Hawaiian). Swimsuits were available for purchase after the show.
Who We Spotted: We chatted with Ann Boeker Gibbons, Senior Regional Director, Southeast from Autism Speaks; Francesco Ricchi, owner and chef of Cesco Osteria Restaurant; and, Tala Raassi, the Iranian-American fashion designer behind Dar Be Dar.
