New York, London and Milan's fashion moments have come and gone this month, and while we are peanut butter and jelly of anyone currently taking in the Paris Fashion Week shows this week, the time has finally come to see cutting-edge fashion up close and personal in Houston.

The Skinny: Founder Vivian Wise, she of the powder pink hair, has figured out a surefire way to lure major fashion names to Houston—make charity a centerpiece of the event. Following up a debut that included Carmen Dell'Orefice, Wise's second 'season' has been delayed from November until 2017, so there's no lineup to speak of yet—but based on Wise's smart and dramatic Mystery Show this spring, we expect big things.

These are the big players of the season, but we're not even touching charity events and luncheons with a fashion show component, retail-based presentations and the impromptu fashion shows that take place every time you met your girlfriends for brunch. Remember, a catwalk isn't a place, it's a state of mind.
