About this event

On Saturday, September 7th, the Break Free Foundation returns for their sixth New York Fashion Week showcase.

This immersive fashion show features live entertainment, designers showcasing the latest styles, red-carpet interviews, and networking with designers, creatives, and industry experts.

6 pm: Doors open to the venue, and mocktails will be served to all
7 pm: The fashion show begins

Break Free is leading the discussion on mental health, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders within the fashion industry and beyond. Every runway season, we host a fashion showcase that has mental health and recovery take center stage during New York Fashion Week.

Every season, we invite activists to walk the runway and showcase their designs to spread the message that there is life beyond recovery.

A majority of the proceeds from this showcase will go to the Break Free Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to assist those seeking treatment for a substance use disorder through attending a rehabilitation and outpatient center.

September is National Recovery Month, a month to celebrate those who have sought recovery from a substance use disorder and to encourage others to seek ways to gain sobriety and live a sober lifestyle.

In honor of National Recovery Month, you can use code RECOVERYMONTH for $5 off your order. If you are a person in recovery and cannot afford to attend the showcase, please email us at team@breakfreefoundation.org for information on gaining complimentary access to the showcase.

Mocktail Hour @ 6pm

After-Party @ 8:30pm
