The 3rd Annual ‘Fall into Fashion Show’ was held at the Rio West Mall’s center court Sept. 16. The fashion show called on the mall’s local businesses to come out and display their clothing apparel.

There were a variety of unique, junior, young, and matured models that volunteered their time to show off clothing lines.

There wasn’t an empty seat in the house at this year’s show. The organizers kept the audience busy with music by DJ Kirk, emcee Sarah Piano, and the most entertaining were the prizes given away to the audience who were in attendance.

Businesses that advertised their clothing line and/or merchandise were Fallas, Journeys, JC Penney, rue21, A-Team Cheer, Metro Barber Shop, JCPenney Salon, and Hot Topic.

It took a couple of months of team work to assemble the fashion show.

“I was pleased with this year’s turnout. It brought the community together,” General Manager Anita Artalejo said.

Several of the business managers were very impressed with the professional and positive attitudes among the event.

“Today’s fashion show is a success for all the businesses involved. It was really welcoming to get together as a community,” rue21’s Kimberly Sage said
