Austin Fashion Week is How We Celebrate Our Fashion New Year!
Thanks to the Fashion X family, POM PR and the designers from all over that put on another fabulous Austin Fashion Week. For a dazzling, star studded event, over 1,300 attendees welcomed the philanthropy and runway glam. The RUNWAYS and GALLERY nights showcased stars from Project Runway and independent designers, with eye-catching collections rocking the catwalk at JW Marriott Austin.There's so much to cover from the event, but I kept it simple to the trends I loved and that got my heart bursting out of my chest. These styles thrilled me to my heart's content! It was my first year in the front row, and Austin encourages the hooting and hollering, so you know we were having a good time at the show.
Fun fact: You can actually use your cell phone and it's encouraged. (If you love behind-the-scenes, VIP sneak peeks and other on the go gems, follow me on Instagram (<---click there :) ). Watch my live presentations and insta stories!
It's refreshing to immerse in the marketplace, runway shows and soirees during this week of stylish celebration. Check out these images for some of the posh looks! (I saved some of my other favorites for my video, so be sure to watch it. Let me know which looks were your must-haves in the YouTube comments section.)
