The House of Toi Spring 2011 collection took inspiration from the Oscar-winning  film " Giant" --think Texas, cowboys, and sexy models. The collection showcased "a line-up of the ruggedly handsome lone star cowboy looks, along with glamorous dresses and gowns as a Texas rose would have loved."  

The show was very entertaining and kicked off with a topless cowboy that set the tone of the show. Toi served up a variety of looks that included intricately designed dresses and suits. Toi's styles ranged from sexy to sophisticated.
