The runway show took place July 13 at The Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It was the closing event for the International Presenter of Performers convention, it’s a biannaual conclave for singers, dancers, actors and models.

Monsanto, who had previously produced runway shows at Style Fashion Week, showed around 20 looks from Beautés des Champs. Gowns resembled flowers. Models wore headdresses designed by Monsanto. The beads, sequins and crystals in the headdresses evoked images of bees and butterflies, Monsanto said. Models wore Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry. Hair and makeup was put together by Cherry Salon. Monsanto also showed some of his casual line AMLA during the show.
