Wow. This year’s Austin Fashion Week runway collections were beyond impressive. I was pretty blown away. Keep your eye on these designers over the next few years. I think many of them are destined for big things.
It is definitely hard to capture a week of phenomenal talent in photos…but, here are the highlights (along with my top annual top designer picks & what I wore).
