Walk the Runway for a Cause
Become a model with purpose—where every pose raises awareness and every step empowers survivors of human trafficking through the power of fashion.
What We Do
We are a movement rooted in the belief that fashion is more than self-expression—it’s a platform for purpose and change. Through our Chicago model academy, fashion shows, and opportunities for modeling work in Chicago, we empower aspiring models in a safe environment while raising awareness of the hidden atrocities of human trafficking—turning awareness into advocacy, and advocacy into lasting impact.
Our Mission
We are using the world of fashion as a platform to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and educate people about the human cost behind what we wear. By shining a light on these hidden injustices, we aim to cultivate a culture of consciousness and responsibility—where fashion becomes a tool for advocacy, empowerment, and systemic change. Raising awareness, supporting survivors, and holding systems accountable is not optional—it is urgent.

Annual Profits Generated
Human trafficking is one of the most profitable crimes in the world, generating an estimated $236–$245 billion every year. Behind this industry of greed are millions of stolen lives, exploited for profit.
Are Women and Young Girls
Women and girls bear the greatest weight of human trafficking, making up 71% of all victims worldwide. This staggering figure reveals how exploitation targets the most vulnerable, turning lives of promise into lives of captivity.
Are Under Age Girls
Girls under 18 make up 22% of trafficking victims worldwide, exposing how children are among the most vulnerable targets of exploitation.
Why We Care
We care because behind every statistic is a real human being—a daughter, son, sister, brother, or friend—whose life has been stolen, silenced, and forced into suffering. Human trafficking is not a distant problem; it happens in our communities, in industries we interact with daily, and often in ways that are hidden in plain sight. One of the industries deeply connected to this crisis is fashion. From the production of raw materials to garment assembly and global supply chains, forced labor and exploitation persist, often invisible to consumers.
Wear the Change.
