A Night of Style. A Lifetime of Change.
Friday, September 18, 2026
Thank you for bringing your energy, brilliance, and style to our inaugural benefit. Hosted in the former home of the Rubin Museum — a space shaped by art, culture, and global storytelling — the evening came alive with designers, innovators, and supporters who believe in the power of sustainability‑focused fashion to shape a new era.
Explore the gallery, find your favorite moments, and revisit the runway where fashion and long‑term impact came together in one seamless weave.
