With a Runway over the Pool and Holiday Lights Aplenty, a Fash Bash Sparkles in The Woodlands

Neera Patidar and Amanda Abiassi

VIVACIOUS INFLUENCER AND fashionista Theresa Roemer and her husband Lamar hosted the fabulous Fashion Woodlands bash and Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraiser at their home, complete with a runway installed over the pool in the tented backyard.

The “over the top fashion show” had a “magical winter wonderland theme” with Christmas trees, holiday lights, shimmering metallic orbs of various types, and even chandeliers strung over the catwalk, said a rep for the event’s organizers.

Participating designers included Jose Sanchez of Mexico, London’s Dahlia Razzook, Houston native Cesar Galindo who bases in New York, and H-Town’s own Jonathan Blake, who has recently relaunched his career after a long hiatus.

The party was abuzz with flashy style, on and off stage — and one of the night’s most special moments came when a Make-A-Wish kid named Sidney got to strut the runway in a custom look made just for her by Blake. Modeling mogul Page Parkes was also on hand, donating modeling classes for Sidney, who’s angling to make her fashion debut in New York sometime soon! (The gal will have something sparkly to wear when she hits NYC, as the guest who won the $20,000 Mark Pharo earrings donated them to her.)

Many notables turned up for Fashion Woodlands, including Vicki Gunvalson of Real Housewives of Orange County, pink-haired society diva and all-star fashionista Vivian Wise, NFL pro Adrian Peterson, five-time Olympic speed-skating medalist Chad Hedrick, and Hector Villarreal of the famous Lucho men’s store.

Fall Philanthropy Report: Urban Harvest Farmers Market Helps ‘Transform Food Accessibility’

What year was your organization launched? Urban Harvest’s Saturday Farmers Market started in 2004 with just seven vendors, providing an outlet for local farms, community and backyard gardeners to sell fresh produce harvested directly from their soils. Now in its 20th year, the market has grown to be one of the largest markets in Texas, supporting over 100 local farmers, ranchers, and food artisans all from within 180 miles of Houston. The market draws 3,000 customers every Saturday morning and includes many original vendors like Animal Farm, Atkinson Farms, and Wood Duck Farm.
