Labels for Love's Modus Union 2011 was held on a chilly Wednesday evening at the Historic Lumber Shed Plaza on the D.C. waterfront. Guests enjoyed a VIP cocktail hour and runway show complete with a Marc Bouwer 3D film and runway show.

The event supports prevention and early detection of cancer in women. This year, the event benefitted Fran Drescher's charity Cancer Schmancer. Many members of Congress and their wives came out to support the show. Rep. Dan Benishek (R-Mich.) and his wife Judy were seen together, as well as Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) and his wife Vivien.

Vivien Scott, 32, lost both her parents to cancer. As president of the Freshman Spouses, she was asked to get members interested in the event. A Miami native, she was excited to attend a fashion-related evening.
