In celebration of the event’s silver anniversary, KidneyTexas Inc. hosted its 25th Runway Report luncheon and fashion show on Tuesday, September 24. Loyal supporters in a variety of fit-and-flare florals gathered at Brook Hollow Country Club for the tried-and-true event, whose formula works for a reason.

Gather the gals (and a few good men). Meet at Brook Hollow. Grab a glass of champagne, even though a well-intentioned stiletto might knock it over, and enjoy the show!

Claire Catrino and Kaleta Bluffer Johnson co-chaired this year’s luncheon, ensuring the entire affair would be as classy as ever. Lauryn Gayle White served as honorary chair.



The runway show, produced by the legendary Jan Strimple, featured festive looks for all seasons (and all budgets!) from longtime fashion show partner Tootsies, as well as St. John, Betty Reiter, and Nardos Design. Frosting each of the models? Jewels from Bachendorf’s, of course. Strimple announced that she’d be handing the proverbial torch to Robyn Chauvin Productions next year. Rest assured, it’s in the best of hands!
