We are leading the discussion on mental health, co-occurring disorders, and substance use disorders within the fashion industry and beyond. We have invited mental health and addiction activists to not only walk the runway, but to be featured designers showcasing their collections for the world to see. Leading up to the event, there will be a series of virtual panels for the designers and models to

take part in discussing topics ranging from substance use disorder within the fashion industry to how to self-care for yourself during NYFW to avoid burnout. A portion of the proceeds from this show will go towards the Break Free Foundation, who provides scholarships to assist those seeking treatment for a substance use disorder to enter into a rehabilitation center.
