Made In Heaven: Eleven-Eleven

The lights dim and heads turn towards the spotlight that is illuminating the runway, Austin's most fashionable crowd goes silent to await a show they know will be nothing less than extraordinary.

Austin's own Stephen Moser is back, and more glamourous than ever. His return to the runway earlier this year was followed, this Sunday evening, by his latest stunning collection in an extravagant celebration that reunited Austin's fashion icons.

I dressed in mostly vintage for this event, the skirt I wore was originally from a boutique my mom owned when she was younger. I immediately fell in love with the shiny florals and fluid movement of the skirt.

From the fashionable guests to the elegant atmosphere, this event, held in the Driskill, was styled exquisitely. From the shows preceding Moser's, to his long anticipated collection, this night was truly spectacular.

 

 

The night's shows began with a collection for the modern, fit, and stylish woman, by designer Tina Johnson. 

Next was a presentation of heel embellishments by designer Roosevelt Cevallos.

The pace of the show slowed for a collection from Gail Chovan of Blackmail all in deep black tones.

As the first pieces of Moser's show drifted down the runway the audience sat in awe. This collection was a unique and stunning work of art.

Mid-runway hugs!

Although the entire collection was absolutely gorgeous, this dress was my favorite. It perfectly balances elegant, edgy, and modern styles with interesting geometric shapes and simplicity.

This collection was wonderful. Thank you Stephen Moser, for such an amazing night, you are truly amazing!
