One model sashayed down the runway with a leather jacket and a guitar, basking in applause from the crowd. Another danced and strutted in a multicolored bomber coat.
Though New York's Fashion Week wrapped more than a month ago, there was plenty of fierce fashion at the second annual"Gigi's Playhouse Fashion Show" on Wednesday, an event that allows young people with Down syndrome to share their talent. "I think it's clear from all of the models that it was a wild success, and it kind of blends the two intersections of my life, which are philanthropy and fashion," she said."It was really fun. I loved walking down, showing everybody the outfits, and I feel like we're making a difference," she said.
