K idneyTexas' straightforward mission requires no explanation: The organization provides funding in the search to prevent and cure kidney disease, as well as to improve methods of treatment for those suffering from the disease. To help achieve these goals, KidneyTexas recently hosted The Runway Report, its 24th annual fashion show and luncheon, at Brook Hollow Golf Club. Poised powerhouse Venise Stuart chaired the luncheon, which raises funds for designated beneficiaries in North Texas. Cindy Feld served as honorary chair. Following a champagne reception, guests took their seats on either side of the runway, while sportscaster Scott Murray emceed the robust program — which included Stuart surprising Murray himself with the Community Lifetime Achievement Award. For the Jan Strimple-produced fashion show, models highlighted looks from Tootsies, Betty Reiter, St. John, and Nardos Design. A low- hanging chandelier may have knocked off a statement headpiece atop one of the final looks, a shimmering metallic Nardos ball gown, but the model didn't miss a beat. At KidneyTexas, heads (and standards) are always held high.
