FAIRFAX, Va. – The NRA Personal Protection Expo welcomes back the Concealed Carry Fashion Show on Friday, Sept. 6, 2019, at the Ft. Worth Convention Center in Ft. Worth, TX.

The models, both male and female exhibitors, will walk the runway, showcasing products ranging from conventional pistol holsters and accessories to concealed carry purses, clothing, bags, and more. The audience will vote for their top three favorite concealed carry products at the event’s conclusion.  Del C. Arnold, CEO and Founder of Asfaleia Designs, says, "We are excited to sponsor the 2019 NRA Personal Protection Expo Fashion Show. Personal protection and fashion are fundamental to Asfaleia Design’s line of bags, making this show a perfect match.”


This year’s Fashion Show will be emceed by Chad Vermillion, a recording artist and musician from Texas, and Stefany Reese, Brand and Communications Manager at Springfield Armory.

“I am thrilled and honored to be a part of NRA’s Personal Protection Expo Fashion Show this year,” Reese said. “It’s such a great opportunity for a wide audience to understand the safe, reliable solutions our industry offers for those interested in personal protection and the security of one’s family.”
