On the final night of Fashion Houston, Cesar Galindo unveiled his Rojo by Cesar Galindo of red gowns that he designed in tribute to World AIDS Day.
Galindo, who is co-chairing the World AIDS Day luncheon with Fred Smith and Ken Newberry at the Hilton Americas-Houston on Dec. 1, decided to whip up the gowns to create a festive atmosphere at the annual event and, hopefully, raise some additional funds for AIDS Foundation Houston.
Galindo showcased 11 gowns, incorporating shiny fabric and dramatic styling, in the runway show and plans to create an additional six gowns before the luncheon. At Fashion Houston, the gowns were accented with glittering pieces of jewelry from Houston designer Elizabeth Pettit de Montfitchet's "Aristo Goddess" Collection by Baroness Elizabeth.
Galindo says he has had offers for three of the gowns, which start at $3,000, and plans to donate a portion of sales to the Houston AIDS organization. He plans a runway show at the World AIDS Day luncheon and hopes to auction off all the rest of the gowns for charity.
