Style Week Rock + Runway at American Legion Hall
First, the drama. About an hour before the outdoor runway show was scheduled to begin, the wind rushed in. Then rain and lighting. All the rigging, lighting and support equipment for the Style Week Rock + Runway show was disassembled, while guests evacuated to the American Legion Hall.

Minutes later, the threat had passed. Guests trickled out onto the lawn, where benches and hay bales had been set up for viewing the menswear show that would include western attire from Allen’s Boots — as far as I know, a Style Week first.

As always, the Tribeza magazine leaders proved the souls of professionalism. If the rooms inside the hall got a little frat-ish on bourbon and vodka, the folks on the lawn kept their cool in the relative cool temps of the post-storm calm.

The show was short, slender and slick, filled out by the essential young Austin men’s boutique, Service Menswear. I liked what I saw, even if, this time out, nothing would fit a normal man in his 50s. The conversation remained buoyant, however, and that’s why I was there.
