Formal wear store hosts prom fashion show

Southside formal wear retailer RaeLynn’s Boutique hosted a fashion show in January at the Indiana Convention Center.

Project Runway designer Johnathan Kayne co-hosted the show and presented the audience with his prom and pageant gown designs. RaeLynn’s hosted the show to kick off the prom season.

More than 30 businesses donated items that were given away at the show. Thirty models selected from 1,000 entries for RaeLynn’s model search walked the runway wearing designer gowns sold at the store.

RaeLynn’s Boutique opened in November 2008. The store is at 455 Greenwood Park Drive South, Greenwood.
