From New York to Ghana, the world of fashion is coming to El Paso.
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, the First Annual Sun City Benefit Fashion Show will bring together international designers, local boutiques, and models from across the Borderland for a runway experience celebrating fashion, community, and inclusion.
Organized and directed by Katie Scott, Director of Miss Sun City USA and Miss Sun City Teen USA, in partnership with El Paso Fashion Week under the direction of Hector and Robert Chavez, the event brings Scott’s global network of designers and creative talent to the heart of West Texas, creating a stage where local talent meets international fashion.
Bringing Global Fashion to the Borderland
The runway will feature Ukrainian-American designer Alina Kuderska, based in New York City and founder of SPARKIES, an innovative adaptive fashion brand creating stylish, accessible clothing for individuals with disabilities or limited mobility.
Also featured are designs created by women in Ghana through the Alfred & Elizabeth Nyarko Foundation, which supports fashion education, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunities for women through its collaboration with the Gifson TAC Vocational Institute for Fashion & Design.
Representing El Paso are Florecita de Campo, Bright Women Boutique, and The Tux Shoppe, bringing together local and international fashion on one runway.
A Runway That Celebrates Individuality
The evening will bring together an exciting lineup of models, titleholders, and special guests, celebrating confidence, individuality, and the power of fashion to connect people from all walks of life.
Taking the runway will be Scarlett Warnock, Miss Sun City Teen USA 2026, and Aspen Armendariz, Miss Sun City Teen USA 2025, alongside featured Sun City models and El Paso Fashion Week models representing different ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
A special runway presentation will also feature individuals from Camp Kaleidoscope, a program under the El Paso Special Needs Education Center, which has served individuals with different abilities for over 20 years. Campers will join Sun City models on the runway, and a portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the nonprofit organization.
Adding to the excitement, the show will welcome special guest Stephanie Han, undefeated WBA Lightweight World Champion, El Paso police officer, former Miss Sun City USA and Miss Texas USA contestant, and mother, who will share a special mother-daughter moment on the runway with her daughter, Josie.
Her appearance comes ahead of a major hometown fight recently announced by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP): a WBO, WBC, and WBA lightweight world championship unification bout against undefeated Caroline Dubois, scheduled for February 20, 2027, at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso.
Connecting Texas Fashion With the World
For event director Katie Scott, the Sun City Benefit Fashion Show represents a vision that extends beyond one night on the runway. Through The Polished Network, her women’s leadership and networking community, Scott is building connections among designers, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals, opening doors to new collaborations and opportunities beyond their local markets.
The inaugural show marks the beginning of that vision, with hopes of bringing more fashion, leadership, and community-driven experiences to Texas and beyond.
Because great fashion knows no borders, and this is only the beginning.
