The Tribeza Fashion show on September 22, 2009 was full of surprises. Despite the rain, Austinites came out and celebrated fashion on the City Terrace of the Long Center. A gorgeous crystal tent was erected over the runway and Austin's elite was sitting in the front rows of the show. Camera crews were even there filming a pilote of "The Real Housewives of the Lone Star State" they are trying to sell to the Bravo Network.
Boutiques such as By George, Adelante, Estilo and Keepers showed off their newest fall trends. Neons, animal prints, knee high boots, studding, and boyfriend gear were all the rage.
Michael Holdaway flew in from Los Angeles to coordinate the show and did an AMAZING job. He composed all the music, organized all the models and coordinated the look of the runway without ever losing his outgoing and bubbly personality. We love him and hope to work with him again in the future.
Overall, the event was a total hit. Dale Dewey and Karen Landa were so great to work with and had so many ideas to work off of. They wanted a fashion show that woudl blow Austin away and thats exactly what they did. It'll be hard to top this year's event, but I know they can do it.
The VIP tents were abuzz with gossip and chit chat. Matt Wilson and his band got guests dancing from tent to tent and singing along to all his tunes. Thanks so much to all the sponsors for those tents- Hester Capital Management, Mercedes, Kathryn Bechtol Scarborough, BYD Yoga, Gables, Tribeza, Estilo, Lounge 22, Long Center 2nd Year Anniversary, David Yurman and Missbehave/Beyond Tradition. Every tent had their own theme and everyone outdid themselves.
Can't wait till next year!!
