Sophisticated looks were front and center on the runway at Fashion Week El Paseo, held April 2–9 in Palm Desert, Calif.

This annual event had plenty of top-end designers such as Monique Lhuillier, Zandra Rhodes, Michael Costello and Marc Bouwer as well as a glimpse of the Grayse collection, created by Kelly and Marie Gray, the family that founded St. John Knits.

The runway shows took place in a huge tent set up in the El Paseo shopping district of town.

Organized by Palm Springs Life magazine, the event was sponsored by Coachella Valley real estate developer Saxony Group.
