What: MOD: A Modern Take on ‘60s Fashion

Where: LBJ Presidential Library

The lowdown: Though she sometimes gets overlooked for Jacqueline Kennedy when it comes to presidential sartorial inspiration, Lady Bird Johnson was a fashionista in her own right. On Friday, September 12, local designers paid homage to Lady Bird by crafting outfits inspired by her mod-esque wardrobe. 

Designers including Gail Chovan, Maria Silver and Paola Moore of Rare Trends, Daniel Esquivel​, Ross Bennett and Dawn Younger-Smith debuted catwalk-worthy couture for the occasion. 

Who: Veronica Hermosa, Lindsay Carter, Bill Goodpasture, Lori Goodpasture, Alysha Montgomery, Amy Sales, Shane Mikeska, Lauren Loumsden, Beebe Voyles, Mishell Kneeland, Elizabeth Pitts, Laura Craddick, Audrea Straub, Cami Gray, Madeline Hollern, Sara Hussey and Cristina Facundo.
