If you've got it, Flaunt it at the Honfleur Gallery (1241 Good Hope Road SE). The gallery matched local designers and photographers to create a exhibit that closes Saturday with its capstone event, a runaway show.

The event -- a combination of art exhibits and fashion blowout -- is a cooperative effort between local photog group Ten Miles Square , The Honfleur Gallery , which aims to provide better access to the arts for residents “East of the River,” and Rachel Cothran of prominent local fashion blog Project Beltway .

Local designers include Dana Greaves of Artistic AYA, Taimur Baig of Mirza Mperial , Lara Akinsanya of L~Shandi and Will Sharp with Durkl. Featured photographers are Joshua Yospyn, John Ulaszek, Meaghan Gay and Steve Goldenberg .
In addition to Saturday night's runway fête, the final evening of the exhibit features a pop-up boutique, wine and goodies, and music by DJ Ten.

Doors 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, available by advance purchase only. (202) 580-5972 or arts@archdc.org .
