Last Saturday at The Pine Street Station was an unconventional fashion show (my favorite kind) where models didn’t strut down the runway, but instead, rode bikes!  The first ever Fash Bash was produced by Bikebot, an environmental organization dedicated to encouraging the nation to ride bikes more, and BikeyMeLikey, a self-proclaimed “bicycle fashionista.”  Proceeds for the event went to cycling advocacy organizations, 1Love Bicycle Tour and HOPE LIKES BIKES.  With tickets going for $20 a pop ($25 at the door), I must admit I was expecting there to be a little more in the areas of musical entertainment and vendors, however, there was an almost endless supply of free whisky from Wiser’s Whisky and beer from Real Ale.  Pair that alcohol with beautiful babes and Baldwins on bikes from the Bicycle Sports Shop wearing clothing from SoLa and the Psychlist, and you’ve got a show most cycling Austinites can’t resist.

This year, I was asked to model in the now annual Strut 5.12 Fashion Show.  Strut 5.12 is an “ATX fusion” produced by MKV Productions.  The event features several local vendors and artists as well as a silent auction.  All proceeds from the auction went to CapCity Kids.

This year’s fashion show featured clothing from Spring Frost, Linda Asaf Designs, St. Thomas, Dekla, Capra & Cavelli, 81 Poppies, and jewelry from Sugar Gay Isber.  All looks for the night were styled by local wardrobe stylist, Leonardo D’Almagro.

I was able to capture some behind the scenes photos of some of my fellow models getting their hair done by Blo Blow Dry Bar and make-up by Rae Cosmetics.  See more photos below!
