Enjoy the start of autumn with appearances from reality TV personalities Ashley Darby and Gabby Prescod at Westfield Montgomery in Bethesda.

BETHESDA, MD — Westfield Montgomery Mall is hosting a fall fashion remix event on Saturday, Oct. 7 that will feature appearances from reality TV personalities, designer customizations, personal styling and photo opportunities.
Ashley Darby and Gabby Prescod will headline the event with a fireside chat from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Nordstrom Wing on the Lower Level. Fresh off the latest season of runway shows from New York and Paris Fashion Week, fashion editor Prescod will lead a discussion with Darby, a fan favorite and Montgomery County native.
Leading up to the chat, fans can purchase $75 VIP tickets for a private meet-and-greet with the stars from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Nordstrom on the third floor. The experience includes sips from Windridge Vineyards, light bites, a gift bag, and reserved seating for the free fireside chat that will be open to the public.
