Ximena Valero Swimsuit Fashion Show & 2010 Model Search Winner

As dozens of aspiring models lined up with hopes of becoming the next face of a global designer brand, the 2010 Ximena Valero Model Search was in full swing last Friday, 08/06/2010.

Amid poolside revelers at The Venetian's TAO Beach in Las Vegas, the chosen finalists strutted the stage with the 2011 Ximena Valero Spring/Summer Swimwear Collection and dazzled everyone with their vibrant personalities. With our emcee (Harmony) and DJ (Crystal) also entertaining the crowd, the audience was impressed by the models and showered the new XV Swim Collection with great approval.

Aura Nightclub Fashion and Trunk Show

Our fashion show at Aura Nightclub on Thursday, 07/29/2010, in Studio City, was full of bright colors and high energy.  The reversible dresses looked stunning, showing pops of color at the hems and necklines.

The rest of the looks included gowns and jumpsuits -- plenty of choices for all types of party girls.

The trunk show that followed also generated a lot of buzz, as fans were able to appreciate the designs up-close and try on their favorite looks.  As always, Ximena's collection won over more admirers that night...

Our favorite moment of the night was fellow fashion designer Justin Kopplin walking the runway.  Talk about stealing the show!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our fashion and trunk show at Aura Nightclub!  Stay connected for all of Ximena's upcoming personal appearances by visiting www.ximenavalero.com.  See you at the next XV outing!
