NYFW the Shows: Jeans for Refugees by Johny Dar

We’re still completely exhausted from the already jam-packed fashion week schedule that begun two days before the official first day. Exhaustion side, we had to begin our coverage with a very important show from a designer and organization that is doing great things. As you should be well aware, the world is experiencing a refugee crisis. It is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time. One artist is helping the cause by displaying wearable art pieces during NYFW. We love when fashion does good things, so our NYFW the Shows coverage begins with the Jeans for Refugees by Johny Dar.

We all know how tragic the refugee crisis is and this amazing global campaign gives us the opportunity to help. Painted onto every piece from the collection is a universal message, just as each color of the rainbow adds to the beauty of rainbows. All of the one hundred pairs of ‘Jeans For Refugees’ will be on exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery in London from the October 24th-30th. Check out the some of the collection (with both women’s and men’s jeans) as the models walk the runway finale, and a snippet of Polly A’s performance.
