The stars of the Fresh Faces of Fashion show put on for 2018! This group of trendsetting ladies may be young, but they are already making names for themselves in Houston!
Last Thursday night, Houston Modern Luxury Magazine and Tootsies put on one of the most anticipated events of the year! Sponsored also by Mercedes-Benz Dealers of Greater Houston, Fresh Faces of Fashion is an annual fashion show, showcasing not only the hot new fall styles, but also the newest group of women making their mark on Houston’s social scene.
With beat-heavy music, provided by LG Entertainment, pulsing through the store and groups of impeccably dressed people mingling and sipping Zephyr Gin cocktails provided by Swift + Co., the atmosphere was one that could simply not be rivaled. Purple balloons, provided by Big Ass Balloons, hung over the bright, white runway, making it feel like you had stepped into a fabulous fashion dream world..
Owner of Tootsies, Norman and Donna Lewis
This was the eleventh anniversary of the event, but the first with Norman Lewis as owner of Tootsies! Lewis and his wife Donna spent the evening socializing with friends, clients and co-workers, alike! The fashion show was styled by Tootsies‘ very own creative director, Fady Armanious and presented by show creators, Lenny Matuzewski and Tamara Bonar. Armanious, along with Jennifer Cope of Houston Magazine, welcomed the well-dressed attendees to the event and got the party started!

The 2018 Fresh Faces honorees were: Jennifer Allison, Amanda Boffone, Christine Falgout, Katherine Gillman, Brooke Bentley Gunst, Kisha Itkin, Raelyn McNair, Roslyn Bazzelle Mitchell, Jordan Seff and Christine Spin. Family and friends in the audience cheered and applauded as these ladies strutted down the runway in fall’s hottest fashions.

The night was full of good spirits (of both the energy and drinking kinds!), fabulous fashions, and gorgeous gals on the runway leaving all that attended feeling exhilarated and empowered! Fresh Faces of Fashion was an incredible celebration of these young women making an impact in Houston society. We had so much fun- the countdown for next year has already begun!
