A Capacity Crowd Enjoys Sizzlin' Summer Fashion Show

Summer swimwear looks great at the Sizzlin' Summer Fashion Show
with lighting from Dallas Light and Sound.

An enthusiastic crowd filled all chairs and spilled into standing room only sections for the Sizzlin Summer Fashion Show, held Friday night July 20th. The Red Party Foundation pulled out all of the stops in producing the event, which was presented by Prestige Model Management and benefited Legacy Counseling. Held at the Ilume in the heart of Oaklawn, two half-block long runways ran poolside and were connected by a pair of pool bridges designed and installed by Dallas Light and Sound. The pool runway bridges provided VIP and photographer reserved sections at the ends of the pool with unobstructed views of the swimsuit and summer fabulous fashions.

Dallas Light and Sound provided lighting, a pair of pool bridge runways, red carpet entry, VIP cabanas and stylish brushed metal crowd control stanchions for the event. DLS Lighting Designer Craig Canant and our production team overcame afternoon rain and the summer heat to install a network of lighting truss towers that provided stunning lighting for the runways and pool bridges.
