Athletes Hit the Runway for Charity

NFL players took to the runway at the Jockstarzz fashion show, benefiting the Kevin Everett Foundation, which wrapped up Funkshion Miami Fashion Week.

Models and athletes became one at the Jockstarzz Fashion Show on March 29. Held in the Funkshion Miami tent-provided by EventStar-at Lummus Park on South Beach, the football-themed charity fashion show signaled the end of the signature Miami fashion extravaganza.

As guests arrived, they entered through the two-level Red Bull lounge outfitted with plush chairs and suede daybeds for them to relax on before the show. In the adjacent grassy courtyard, attendees perused jewelry by Gergé and one-of-a-kind custom pieces by Heatherette designers Traver Rains and Richie Rich, who were also in attendance.Adding a spin to the typical fashion show, event producers Jockstarzz Inc. took inspiration from the athletes who'd be modeling and created a sports-themed scene for the show. The runway was set up on a grassy area with football goalposts at the ends and orange and black director's chairs flanking each side. In addition, the show itself was divided into four quarters, complete with a halftime show by the Miami Street Band's drum line and commentary provided by CBS4's Jim Berry and Elyse Ranart, editor of City & Shore magazine.

When the show began, models, celebrities-including White Boy from the reality show I Love New York and Anchal Joseph from America's Next Top Model-as well as NFL players took to the runway in support of the Kevin Everett Foundation, which aims to find a cure for paralysis and help patients and families cope. The charity's namesake also hit the runway for his first-ever runway appearance since recovering from his life-threatening injuries last fall. DJs Cool and Dre kept the energy up throughout the show.

Attendees also received a Patron Tequila gourmet snack box filled with stadium treats to enjoy, including VitaminWater, a pretzel dog, and bags of popcorn, as well as trail mix provided by Michael's Kitchen.
