The fashion show featured such well-known designers as The House of Bru- ar, The House of Lucan, House of Chevoit, McKenna Quinn, and Edinburgh Castle Tweed. Professional models were from First Models Talent Search. Also walking the runway in honor of the occasion and for the cause were Hur- ricane Harvey First Responders, five Houston Policemen, five Houston Fire- fighters, and a former Navy Seal. Following the show, the party continued in the Million Air Hangar. This was the first time that this world class show and fundraiser was held in Houston. With Texas Scottish connections dating back to the Alamo, this show should become an annual event. It was an evening that even Housto- nians who have no Scottish connections enjoyed and will remember.
