Models labored under the midday sun in cotton, polyester, wool and satin during the second FACE of Nuuanu Fashion Competition, which took place Saturday.

But their work was appreciated by the crowd of fashion enthusiasts who lined the red-carpeted Nuuanu Avenue, and by the winning designers in four categories, who walked away with prizes of $500 each.
