Designs from Marco Hall in a store window.

Fancy showing up at a special event wearing a one-of-a-kind dress designed just for you?

Well, you may just win that one at this year’s Muse Awards. Thanks to NYWIFT member Eldonie Mason, one lucky Muse raffle winner will be dressed for success by Marco Hall, considered “New York’s Go-to Designer.”

I first saw one of Hall’s creations at BAFTA’s “Mad Men” event this past April (access thanks to NYWIFT). Mason was a knockout in Hall’s gold and cream wrap dress. Trust me, attention was split between her, her dress, and Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, and the show’s other stars.

It’s not the only Hall creation she’s been seen in. Hall was along to see her model another fab dress at NYWIFT’s 2013 Designing Women. Hall is opening a Newark boutique this month.

Mason is a lawyer concentrating on areas of entertainment law. She is the founder of Mason Firm LLC (@masonfirm) and has also graciously donated the gift bags distributed at the Muse Awards this year. They will be filled with lots of other goodies as well.

I’m sure you’ll recognize Mason at Muse…she’ll be the one everyone will be asking, “Where did you get that dress?” Buy lots of raffle tickets this year so you’ll have chance to be “Red Carpet ready” at next year’s Muse Awards!
