Fashion Fights Poverty on the Runway

Friday night at the St. Regis Hotel, five designers and some twenty-odd models featured socially responsible fashion on the runway to benefit empoverished communities. It was Fashion Fights Poverty – and it was awesome! I’m also featured in the FFP 2008 Look Book, but always enjoy entertaining on the runway so much more!

Thanks to photographer Pat Ryan who sent me some pics after the show. At left, I model for Mae, at right, for Kayce.

I convinced Matt Landsburg of Eric Finn to add some females to his line-up. Wouldn’t it be hot if we wore men’s dress shirts and heels?! YES! We did. And it was a hit!

Only two things about the night weren’t incredible. One – the crazy teased hair looks great on the runway, but is a mess to deal with afterward. You can’t tame it enough to head straight to the afterparty – and it may take four washings to get all of the hairspray and knots out!… Two – the dang “reality show” peeps are getting on my last nerves. Perhaps more on that later…

Spotted in the audience from my vantage point on the runway: Paul Wharton, Victoria Michael, Pamela Sorensen, Laura Carlson, and Rebecca Heslin.
