The McAllen Chamber of Commerce, Dos Rios Fabric Stores, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Debi Lou Productions will host Project Runway RGV on Thursday, September 29, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Valencia Event Center in McAllen.  Project Runway RGV will showcase the creativity of seven local designers, Laisa Macias from Harlingen; Edgar Vela from Mission; Carmen Sanchez from McAllen; Merci Frezh from Edinburg, Rosie Coronado from McAllen; Azelia Martinez from Brownsville and Maria Antonia Palacios from McAllen, who will come together in a friendly competition of talent and fashion. Each designer is tasked to create a unique dress that could be worn to a red carpet event, and will be judged on the Most Original Design, Best Drawing to Design, Best Quality of Construction, Best in Show and People’s Choice awards. The highlight of the event will be a live auction of the dresses to raise money for cancer research.

The event includes a wine & hors d’oeuvres reception sponsored by Santa Fe Steakhouse, Cornerstone Catering and L&F Distributors, keepsake photos by RGV Selfies, and a fashion show with our “Day of Honor” recipients with fashions provided by Macy’s.  VIP ticket holders will also receive a swag bag with special goodies, preferred seating along the fashion runway, and early entrance to the reception.
