This month some of the latest looks from local boutiques will be front and center at the Easterseals Arkansas Fashion Event, and the models wearing them will undoubtedly be stealing the show.
Before the big night, Soirée got a lesson in serving looks from four of the models set to take the runway — some first-timers, some veterans and all ready to shine.
