The Fearless Spirit Fashion Show was held on October 8th at Storybook Studios. This event marks the graduation of the Fearless Spirit Model Crew. This is the culmination of a 7 month process of building the self-esteem of 8 middle school teen girls, who have been bullied and who have been struggling with their self-esteem. The process proves to them, through professional, creative and fun photography, how beautiful and unique they truly are. With this event, they are challenged to be truly fearless and walk the runway! The dresses were hand-picked by Casey, for each girl, to suit their personalities.
Each model's behind the scenes video from their individual photoshoots were revealed, right before they walked the runway.
Ticket and raffle prize sales were donated to support the charity 'To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA)', a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness for people who are struggling with mental health issues like depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. Thanks to the Fearless Spirit parents and those who donated to the auction to help raise money for the mental health charity, TWLOHA.
