Rhinestones & Roses Fashion Event Becomes Bigger And Brighter!!!

Nashville, TN (Webster & Associates Public Relations) - Nashville and New York collide at War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville on Sunday, Nov. 5, when 'Rhinestones & Roses,' a historic fashion event for radio, sponsor and television trip winners takes center stage. 'Rhinestones & Roses' is part of 'Nashville Celebrates Country,' a week of activities leading up to 'The 40th Annual CMA Awards.'

Fashion models and today's stars will walk the runway wearing wardrobes once owned and worn by legends such as Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and others. Many of these outfits were crafted by legendary designer Manuel Cuevas (known lovingly to the music industry as Manuel), and are currently in Marty Stuart's vast collection of celebrity couture. The wardrobe being featured is extraordinary and a testament to the creative genius of Manuel.

Stuart is recognized as a Nashville ambassador, renowned music star and close friend to Manuel. The outfits are on loan to the fashion show. In June, the Tennessee State Museum will display an exhibit featuring Stuart's collection.

Manuel's priceless couture is owned and coveted by international icons, ranging from presidents to music and film legends. Manuel has made custom clothing for Brooks & Dunn, Johnny Cash (making him 'The Man in Black'), Kenny Chesney, Bob Dylan, Ethan Hawke, Mick Jagger, Kid Rock, Little Richard, Madonna, Marty Stuart, Billy Bob Thornton, John Travolta, Keith Urban, and countless others.

Tres Outlaws Boots will also be featured during 'Rhinestones & Roses.' These are no ordinary boots; they retail in Beverly Hills for as much as $50,000 a pair and are worn by royalty, presidents, senators, governors, Supreme Court justices, movie stars and music celebrities.

'The 40th Annual CMA Awards' is a production of the Country Music Association (CMA). The three-hour gala will be held live Monday, Nov. 6 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville and broadcast on the ABC Television Network.
