Because we’ve been braving these frigid temperatures along with many of you, we thought we’d give you a little mid-day mental vacay and read about our fashion show in Austin, Texas.

In November, ANNE BOWEN kicked off Formula 1 Racing with a runway show at the incredible Robert Smith Ranch in Austin, Texas.

Quite the star-studded event, some of the A-List attendees included Common, John Legend, Carmen Electra, Teri Hatcher, Cedric the Entertainer, Mercedes Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon, Ricky Perry (Governor of Texas), Olympian Michael Johnson, among others.

Overlooking sweeping views of Austin, Texas; the modern runway show and Laureus Formula 1 cocktail party benfitted the Laureus Charity. HUGE shout out to the bidder who bid $45,000 on the ANNE BOWEN “Morgann” gown with proceeds donated directly to the Laureus Charity.

The atmosphere was filled with positive energy, laughter, and great conversation. John Legend’s performance swooned the crowd and the fireworks added an extra BANG to the soiree.
