New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/20/2021 -- New York Fashion Week(NYFW) is back and more viral than ever. Fashion has proven time and again that it isn't immune to societal issues. This season as NYFW stomps out across the city, socially distancing itself from Spring Studios to Battery Park, Supermodels Unlimited Magazine(SU) is taking a moment to kneel down and lace up their ballet heels to remind us that not everything should return to normal. There are some injustices that need to end, and what better time to shine a light on these travesties than while the world is healing and learning from its missteps. SU feels every designer should be given a moment to shine, no matter their skin color, or neighborhood. "Diversity in fashion is a celebration of talents and design amongst a community of representation that allows every person to see someone like them have a big moment while showing strength in coming together, to display the beauty in all types of individuals. Diversity is key to true worldly influence and connection," says Jordan Kimball from The Bachelorette, & Bachelor in Paradise. "The stage should always mirror the audience."

SU is proudly focused on helping to provide resources, media support, and new opportunities through the SU - Diversity in Design Scholarship. Headlining the DIVERSITY ROCKS runway show is Google's Lifestyle Icon of the Week, and USA Today's Top 10 Entrepreneur, Justin Haynes.

Joining Haynes are designers Kelly Dempsey from Project Runway, and Andrea Vasquez from Pinkapple Dresses. The show will feature a live street art installation that is painted live on the runway, by acclaimed graffiti street artist Lesn101, while the models use their fashions to speak out in their custom designs from Dempsey. Confirmed special guests included famed actor and musician Christian 'King' Combs, along with numerous celebrity models on the runway this season including: Kasey Cohen from Below Deck, and Laura Kirkpatrick from America's Next Top Model. The runway will also feature models and title holders courtesy of Ms. International World, this season's co-sponsor.

SU has curated a collective group of strong designer voices to inspire and motivate, encouraging this generation to stand up to social injustice and make choices that matter. "In a world that's rapidly changing, I think we need to stand together with love, respect and compassion. We hope to accomplish a show that signifies diversity and humanity while admiring the art, fashion and music that unite us as a community.

The Foundation's financial support also helps fulfill the children's medical, educational, and social needs.

"Fostering local support, building communities, and starting a national dialog for women looking to create positive change is what Supermodels Unlimited Magazine is all about." says Kimberly Clark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Supermodels Unlimited Magazine.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst all young people. Every life is precious, whether you identify as straight and cisgender, or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ). Sadly, LGBTQ youth are nearly five times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. To raise awareness of suicide prevention resources and programs, we invite you to join SU, for their annual runway show; benefiting The Trevor Project - the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth.

This season's benefit is titled #YOLO: You Only Live Once.

"No child or teen should ever feel their dreams are out of reach;" says Kimberly Clark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Supermodels Unlimited Magazine, "they need our help now more than ever. We are so thankful that these models, celebrities, influencers and survivors are banding together to save as many lives as possible."

In support of The Trevor Project, Supermodels Unlimited Magazine proudly presents: THE #YOLO SHOW; 6:30pm on February 9th, 2019.

The show is hosted by Jordan Kimball from ABC's The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, with celebrity DJ James Kennedy from Bravo's Vanderpump Rules.
