September : When Summer Is Gone Every time the month of September rolls around, the lyrics of Earth, Wind, and Fire’s song -- September, begins to play in my mind. It brings back memories of high school parties and dancing to the tune of Earth, Wind, and Fire’s songs.

As of this writing, Runway Renegades has just successfully completed its 10th year anniversary show at the Spokane Convention Center with 6 local designers in Spokane , WA.

September ushers in, not only the cold air of Autumn, but also Fashion month which starts off with New York Fashion Week during the first week of September.

The event was attended by many and photographed and recorded by several local photographers. You will find most of the shots on social media at facebook.com/ RR.spokane.

That also ushers in memories from several years ago when I first had the chance to check out NYFW in New York. Amidst all the hulabaloo, there was a gal who asked what all the commotion was all about. She, being from New York, should have known but she obviously wasn’t into the fashion scene.

I personally know two models who walked the runway at Runway Renegades and pursued their dream in New York and walked at several Uptown Fashion Week shows for international designers in NYC. Uptown Fashion Week presents established and emerging Latin designers during New York Fashion Week.

True to form, every imaginable fashion attire showed up outside the venue which was then at the Lincoln Center in NYC. Photographers, bloggers, fashionistas, and fans mingled and engaged in a frenzy whenever there was a celebrity like Paris Hilton, the Jonas brothers, or Jessica Alba who walked by.

So, if you’re serious about pursuing your dreams of modeling, you have to start by showing up and working hard for it.

Fashion isn’t only celebrated in the fashion centers and capitals of the world because this medium-sized city of Spokane, WA has a small and tigh-knit community of fashion afficionados who come together on the month of September to celebrate the collection and art work of several local clothing and accessories designers. On its 10th year, Runway Renegades, spearheaded by visionary Ronnie Ryno together with her husband, Kevin put on a runway show that benefits local charities and provides opportunities for local clothing and accessories designers, photographers, hair and make up artists, and of course aspiring models to walk the catwalk wearing the latest designs from the creative minds of who inspire others with their creativity and vision.

As the lyrics of the song by Gary Lewis and the Playboys goes -- “I’ll see you in September, when summer is gone...”
