Ron King Salon Fashion Extravaganza
As if we needed any fresh evidence that Austin’s fashion scene is evolving rapidly, witness the weekend of celebrations wrapped around the opening of the Ron King Salon in the Four Seasons Residences.

In collaboration with his New York contacts, King pulled off event after event, culminating in a mobbed runway show that some reported was among Austin’s finest in years.

I attended the pre-show reception only. But I caught a glimpse of the 500 or so guests who waited breathlessly outside the Four Seasons Hotel’s main banquet room. (A few others cooled their heels in a confusing VIP lounge. Actually, not the only confused or confusing thing about the evening.)

Many in the crowd were models — or would-be models — or members of the fashion press. A few looked like they could afford haut couture.
