Last year, Renee Townsley of Monkton had an idea to
have a fashion show that not only showcased lifestyle fash- ion, but also celebrated the beauty of various women with- in the Maryland horse industry. “T e goal was to show the beauty of each woman from the inside out,” said Townsley. “[On] their fi rst trip down the runway, we talked about who they are and the positive impact they have made or are making on the Maryland horse industry. T e second turn on the runway, we talked about the fashion. T at was the priority of importance.” T us, the Hi Ho Pimlico Fashion Show was born. What started out as a small show at the Hunt Valley Golf Club in 2017 with 50 people attending, turned into a grander show this year with 140 people in the audience at Pimlico Racecourse. “It was my goal to bring it to Pimlico this year. Next year we have a goal of 300,” she explained. T e fashions came from Townsley’s store DE Collec-
tions, and featured a variety of clothing, jewelry and hand- bag designers. T e models came from the Maryland horse industry and ranged from jockeys to trainers to future show riders. “I wanted to celebrate these hardworking, competent, focused and committed women, while creating awareness through entertainment,” Townsley said. Here are a few pictures of the fabulous fashions and the even more fabulous women wearing these fashions.
