Carmen Marc Valvo will be one of the better-known names when Fashion Houston Presented by Audi returns to downtown's Wortham Theater. Not so well known, at least as a designer, will be Patrick Schwarzenegger, the 17-year-old son of Maria Shriver and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Valvo, a Texas favorite, is known for great evening wear. Schwarzenegger will bring his Project 360 clothing line (T-shirts and hoodies) to Houston for the Oct. 10-13 runway action. Tickets go on sale next week.
This year's lineup also includes:
• Barbara Tfank: First lady Michelle Obama recently wore one of the L.A.-based designer's floral resort dresses.
• Douglas Hannant: He's known for have a straightforward approach to women's wear.
• Chloe Dao: This hometown favorite is showing at Fashion Houston again. She is known for her bold color and details, especially in dresses.
• Cesar Galindo: Another hometown designer, Galindo is expected to debut his secondary line, CZAR. He also showed last year.
• Jerri Moore: The Houston-based designer will showcase her special-occasion dresses for the first time.
• Robert Rodriguez: He worked at Dior before stepping out with his own line. Rodriguez mixes feminine and edgy, and his white shirts are pretty awesome.
"Fashion Houston is about fashion and Houston, bringing them together and showing the world that we have what it takes to be a true fashion destination," said Jared Lang, the event's founder and co-creator.
Tickets are $64-$300 and will go on sale Aug. 26 at www.fashionhouston.net.
