Let me be honest with you - the only show I came and stayed for on the second night of Austin Fashion Week runway shows was Megan Summerville’s. As soon as the last of her last hunky heartthrobs and vintage vixens strutted off the runway, I was out the door too.

Last Wednesday’s Austin Fashion Week runway shows started off strong with a second look at 12 year old designer Isabella Rose Taylor’s designs.
