I recently attended The Bridal Fashion Show 2015, an
event hosted by The Set NYC and Freedom Ladder. Proceeds from the event went to support Freedom Ladder’s mission “to
stop child sex trafficking by using popular vehicles of education and
entertainment, such as comic books, to educate at-risk children about the
danger of sex trafficking and empower them to protect themselves and live lives
of courage, power, and inspiration.”
The evening included a bridal wear fashion show by Kristin Costa, live music by Encypher, and a couture bridal and evening wear
fashion show by Irina Shabayeva (Project Runway season 6 winner). There was an opportunity to purchase food and
drink, raffle tickets, and Freedom Ladder’s educational materials (their comic
book “Abolitionista” teaches children how to protect themselves from sex
trafficking).
I enjoyed the event, with a highlight being
the show by Irina Shabayeva (I think it’s best to just look at the pictures
since I doubt my words could do the dresses justice). I also won a haircut with Vu Hair which I'm excited about!
That said, the best part of the night was watching
people come together with the hope of fighting this crime against humanity. Thank you for a fantastic evening, Freedom
Ladder!

There were vendors selling clothes and jewelry by local designers.
