Coastal Bend Fashion Show highlights local brands and boutiques
“Fifteen minutes until show time,” yelled Andrea Dupper, back stage manager for Coastal Bend Fashion Showcase runway shows, as half – naked models ran around with hairdressers and stylists chasing them to fix any imperfections before they walked the stage.
“The biggest thing we have been lacking here in Corpus is a fashion scene, which people have been saying for years,” said Jennifer Larson, runway model for PART Apparel, “This opportunity is huge for these businesses because it allows people to be aware.”
Last Sunday, the First Annual Coastal Bend Fashion Showcase took place at the American Bank Center in the Henry Garret Ballroom, which was sponsored by TheCrushGirls.com, Grande Communications and 97.5 KFTX Real Country.
Diana Castillo hosted the show with music by Curtis Rock and lighting by Dr. Rockstar.
Hair and makeup were provided by Salon Palomo, Salon Deluna, Tease Salon, Yvonne Vaiz and Megan Martinez.
“The show was exactly, if not well over what I expected,” said Corey Risper, owner of Corey Risper. “I’ve had a lot of feedback about my fashions and that leads me to believe that this event will allow recognition of my store.”
The showcase included fashion shows from eight local boutiques; Kaymare, Corey Risper, GiGi’s Intimate Apparel, Sashay Boutique, PART: Peace through art Apparel, Cosa Bella, Frank’s Extreme Wear and Uptown Girl Fashion Boutique.
