Designs from the 2008 Telluride AIDS Benefit Fashion Show were out of this world. Held for two nights at the Telluride Conference Center, the event has been raising money for AIDS for more than a decade.

The whole show is coordinated and modeled by local volunteers who donate months to rehearsals for only a few hours in the limelight. Click here to see what goes on backstage.
