Thursday's Fashionable Lunch Featuring the Art Institute of Houston

Spice up your boring workweek lunch and catch a fashion show instead! Those crafty, stylish, and talented fashion students of the Art Institute of Houston are showcasing some of fall/winter's fabulous trends with an old Hollywood twist. With the help of The Event, West Ave at River Oaks, and Tootsies, the students are hosting the Eleganza Fashion Show on Thursday, December 8, at 2pm. The fashion students have put together the entire show from set design, model castings, advertising, and styling garments from the Art Institute's very own students. Perhaps the show will jump-start Holiday gift ideas and party garb!
