Fashion X by Cadillac made it’s debut in Houston on October 13th after originating in Austin and expanding to Dallas in 2014.
I was so honored to be named the Style Setter of opening night along side Hannah McNair & Joanna Marks (Friday night) and Lucinda Loya (Saturday night). Fashion x so generously allows each night’s style setter to select their charity of choice to donate a portion of the evening’s proceeds. For my night, I chose Heroes for Children, an amazing organization that supports families of children battling cancer.
For some fun behind party pictures, my favorite looks to walk down the runway and a peek backstage, keep reading after the jump!

Fashion x Houston featured 3 nights of runway shows. Every evening featured at least 9 full runway collections from local Houston-based designers, Season Winners and All Stars from the hit Lifetime Television show Project Runway, and emerging designers from across the globe. FXH also gives opportunities to the youngest of designers through CAPSULE, mini 3-look collections allowing for an accessible runway experience.

One talented Houston-based designer was awarded the 2016 BERNINA Houston Fashion Fund to help spur their career with tools necessary for the trade. This year’s winner was the talented Nicholas Phat Nguyen.
