The models at the second annual Esquire Attire fashion show wore everything from mountain biking gear to courtroom attire to benefit the Peace at Home Family Shelter on April 5 at Teatro Scarpino.
The show is hosted by the University of Arkansas Women's Law Student Association. The organization focuses on helping women in need, said President K.C. Tucker.
About 200 people were expected to attend the show, which was held at Teatro Scarpino.
Greenhouse Grille donated food for the event. Instead of a traditional catwalk, models walked through the crowd, making the event more interactive rather than passive, Tucker said.
Volunteer models were local attorneys and UA Law School faculty. Models were: professor Chauncey Brummer, Kimberly Canova of Canova Law Firm; Andy Cozart of Burke, Olmstead & Cozart; Niki Cung of Kutak Rock; Matt Durrett of the Washington County Prosecuting Attorney's Office; Don Elliott of Elliott & Smith; professor Janet Flaccus; professor Ann Killenbeck and Jessica Killenbeck; professor Mary Beth Matthews; UA Law School Dean Cynthia Nance; professor Phillip Norvell; Michele Payne and Rebeka Payne, Miss Arkansas American Princess; attorney Katie Platt, attorney Jim Rose III, Paul E. Thompson Jr. of Bassett Law Firm; attorney Jane Sexton and professor Steve Sheppard.
Mac Cosmetics professionals provided makeup to the models.

The Honorable Richard Taylor, bankruptcy judge, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, was the master of ceremonies.
Susan Scott, one of the stage managers, said it took about a month for her to prepare for the event, and even more for other people involved in putting on the show.
Madra McAdoo, also a stage manager, said she really liked the lighting and warm atmosphere at Teatro Scarpino.
She explained how the models had three appointed places to pose out on the floor, and one place to all come together.
The four categories of dress were office wear, courtroom attire, casual Friday and company picnic. Andy Cozart individualized his look, wearing mountain biking gear.
Cozart said he decided to volunteer to support a wonderful cause.
Robyn Ryan, fundraising chairwoman, said she hoped the event would raise more than $2,000, the amount from last year's style show.
Matt Durrett said he didn't mind a few minutes of embarrassment to model in the show. His suit was courtroom attire from S&K Clothing.
June Anteski, a new member with the UA Women's Law Student Association, said she has been a volunteer with Legal Aid for two years and came out to support the cause.
