WELLESLEY, MA - This past April, we hosted a truly unforgettable evening at 9 Bellevue Road—our Belle of the Ball event. The idea behind this gathering was to bring together design and art from different industries, creating an environment that fosters creativity, community engagement and curated networking.
For this special occasion, we collaborated with fashion designer Anne Fontaine and her team, who helped made it possible to bring the runway to life within the home.
Pellas Gallery curated an inspiring collection of contemporary art that beautifully tied together the evening’s aesthetic, blending art, fashion, and design into one cohesive experience
The Location -
9 Bellevue Road, Wellesley MA
For this occasion, we made one of our most recent projects—9 Bellevue Road—the centerpiece for bringing our community together in Wellesley. This home represents bespoke, luxury living at its finest.
Each space invited our guests to a unique experience, from the gourmet kitchen to the private library, with a purposeful layout that enhances every aspect of daily life.
Its open and expansive layout made it an ideal setting for the fashion show, naturally supporting a runway-like experience at the heart of the home.
At Arco, we always prioritize the living experience and the seamless cohesion between aesthetics and functionality.
Built to Inspire, Designed to Live
Staging Spaces by Crista Keil – Throughout the home, each piece of furniture was carefully curated by interior designer Crista Keil, who has been a longtime collaborator in helping us seamlessly transition each project into a fully realized living space.
The Show -
Anne Fontaine Spring Collection
The show featured a curated selection from Anne Fontaine’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, where soft neutrals and bold reds led the narrative of the runway.
Each look stood apart—offering a blend of elegance, cutting-edge style, and refined casualwear.
It was a tribute to the modern woman: always in motion, yet effortlessly composed, with a style that adapts without ever compromising sophistication.
Anne Fontaine herself attended the event wearing one of her own designs, perfectly aligned with the collection's spirit. Carolina Trujillo made a striking statement in an emerald green two-piece set, while Isabel Arguello captivated the room in a sculptural solid gold corset—each look reinforcing the fusion of art and fashion that defined the evening.

The Cause - Dress for Success Boston
We had the honor of welcoming Dress for Success Boston, a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to empowering women for over 20 years. With a mission to help women achieve economic independence and thrive in the workplace, they have supported more than 17,000 women across the region. Representing the organization at our event was director, Kim Todd, whose presence added depth and purpose to the evening.
Thanks to the generosity of our incredible raffle sponsors — Arco Design + Build, Jennifer Kinsman, Ahn Point Wellness, Figurella, Orly Khon Floral, Amy Pocsik - Bold Moves & Co, Dryft Wellesley, Juniper Wellesley —we hosted multiple raffles throughout the night. All proceeds from the raffle ticket sales were donated directly to Dress for Success Boston, supporting their ongoing mission to uplift and equip women with the tools they need to succeed.
The Art - Pellas Gallery
As always, our dear friends and collaborators Isabel Arguello and Alfredo Pellas curated each piece of art displayed throughout the home. With their thoughtful approach, they brought life to a blank canvas—seamlessly balancing neutral tones with striking statement pieces to create a harmonious and dynamic living environment.
We believe curated art is an essential part of the living experience. For this occasion, it became the unifying element between art, fashion, and design, enhancing the atmosphere and setting the stage for a truly immersive event. Their selections transformed the home into more than just a setting; it became a immersive space, designed for and inspired by our community
The Wine - Vinodivino
Our friend Manika Khana from Vinodivino hosted a wine tasting, offering a unique and engaging experience that connected with each guest through carefully selected wine notes and the rich stories behind every bottle.
Final note,
