It’s that time of the year, when the latest fashions for fall come pouring out of designer warehouses.

  Here in Sonoma, it’s the ideal time for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley’s 10th annual Fashion in the Vineyards benefit, set for Saturday, Sept. 29. New this year, the day will began at 11 a.m. and include a sit-down brunch and fashion show.

Some local models include Michele Dale, Gloria Ferrer’s Eva Bertran, Valerie Pistole Walter, Cynthia Lema, CeeCee Ponicsan, Laura St. Leger Barter, Envolve Winery’s Danny Fay, Bank of Marin’s Marck Zuehlsdorff, Ken Brown, Deborah and Dr. John Emery and Dusty Niles.

  Helen Lyall – Clothes for Women of Napa is again producing the New York-style runway show, highlighting the latest elegant fashions for fall. The men’s fashions will be provided by Scott Lyall for Men, also of Napa; while Sonoma’s Eraldi’s Menswear and Shoes will be sponsoring the tuxedos. The extremely popular Boys & Girls Club youth show is sponsored by and features clothing from Sonoma Old School Skate and Surf. Local designer Julie Schindler Design will open the show with her latest designs. 

  As a new addition this year, the show will also include designer eyewear provided by Sonoma’s Rika Optique.  All models will be beautifully coiffed by the stylists of Cheveux and Unique Salons. Guests can linger after the show to purchase any of the clothing straight off the runway of the Fashion Show.
