The Hot Mamas threw a Fashion Night Out! benefit in Rockland May 11 to help the teens and young adults who are part of Rockland's Out! As I Want To Be.

The fashion show took place at the David Scriven Crowley Gallery at 409 Main St. in Rockland, featuring five designers and outfits from two local retailers modeled by a dozen local men and women.

Participating designers included Lisa Barfuss of Skirtin’ Around; knit-wear designer Sarah Brand-New of Belfast; Gail Perezutti of New York-based Candela; Susan Perrine, an artist known for her creative outfits fashioned from books; and furrier extraordinaire Greg Tinder of Tsarevich Couture in Northport. Participating retail stores include Four-Twelve in Rockland and the Eclectic Closet in Belfast.

As always, the go-to photographer for any happening event in the Midcoast was Jesse Stuart, who shares his runway photos with us. Here are some of the best looks and best photos from that night. To see more of Stuart's work, check out his Facebook page.
