WASHINGTON, DC – November 15, 2021 – Today Events DC, the official convention and sports authority for the District of Columbia, announced a new partnership with the Diplomacy & Fashion Project founded by Indira Gumarova of the Embassy of the Czech Republic, on a short film series that explores the intersection of diplomacy and the way we dress. The first installment of three-part series will premiere between November 16-18, 2021 on GATHER by Events DC, Events DC’s platform for live and on-demand programming from the worlds of culture, sports and entertainment. The series will culminate in an intimate conversation with the Honorable Madeleine Albright, captured by award-winning documentary filmmakers.

The series will debut on GATHER by Events DC according to the following schedule:

  • November 16: Diplomacy & Fashion Week – On the Global Stage
    • Featuring Diplomacy & Fashion founder Indira Gumarova and former Chief of Protocol for the Obama White House Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall

The Diplomacy & Fashion series aims to leverage Washington D.C.'s unique cultural and political perspective on fashion, as the nation's capital and home to more foreign embassies and cultural centers than nearly any city in the world. Through original and dynamic storytelling, the films reshape the dialogue surrounding fashion and the people who represent various intersections of society on the diplomatic stage. 

Events DC partnered with M.M.LaFleur, the premier women’s clothing brand providing clothing, styling, and community to the busy, modern woman, to produce the second installment in the series, From the Campaign Trail to the Office. In this program, Tara Donaldson and Sarah LaFleur discuss the power of self-presentation, the evolution of political and diplomatic style, and the challenges and opportunities women on the political and diplomatic stage face regarding the relationship between their work and their appearance.

The three-part series is the latest addition to the diverse program portfolio featured on GATHER by Events DC and will captivate viewers seeking compelling, locally relevant on-demand content to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
