Latina Magazine teamed up with the new fashion giant, Southpole to host a Fall Fashion Show at the Peninsula Island Resort & Spa on South Padre Island. Missy’s Modeling of McAllen, Texas provided the Valley’s top models for the affair that was attended by a large audience of over 1000 people. Also there for a short performance, Chana a rising latina star from New York performed her new hit, Manos Arribe for the special VIP event. Local dignitaries including Miss Rio Grande Valley Teen USA, Laura Gonzalez and South Padre Island Mayor Bob Pinkerton attended and catered the pre-party event to kick off the SPI Music Festival

Southpole, a streetwear megabrand founded in 1991 that designs, manufactures and distributes it own exclusive clothes lines, featured their fall fashion trends in a cool outdoor breeze at the Peninsula with the ocean as a backdrop. Tom Castaneda of Latina Magazine brought his best crew down from New York to document the show and a special quest, Chana an upcoming Latina star who performed for the VIP crowd and later mingled with the quests. On Friday night Chana performed a full score at Pelican West with her beautiful voice & refreshing new Latin sound.

The Peninsula Island Resort & Spa, with its great beach location just across from the bridge, made for an ideal fashion show atmosphere. From the pool area you could see both the Laguna Madre and the Beach shoreline as dusk turned to night. Beatifully lit landscapes made for perfect model pathways around the pool and garden. Although the weather was perfect, the view from inside Las Olas, the Resort bar & grill that overlooks the beach, pool & garden area was excellent.

The models from Missy’s looked fabulous in Southpole’s comfortable west coast designs often worn by celebrities. These young ladies, in these stunning outfits, could turn any bad market good! They often appear at major Valley functions and clearly have perfected their modeling skills. Their seasoned poise, beauty & talent were very well received and truly a sight to see. Great Job Missy!
