One of the year’s most anticipated events once again rocked the house. The affair was a fun-filled evening benefiting Family Services of Greater Houston. The all-male “celebrity” runway revue showcased some of the most uomini splendidi (gorgeous men) in Houston who glided down the catwalk with undeniable swagger dressed in the finest Festari for Men fashions. The show was followed by a lively auction, which included fabulous trips to Italy, Aspen and South Africa! The crowd then danced the night away to DJ Gino and enjoyed a popular late night bar featuring specialty tequilas by Riazul.
