Break Free is leading the discussion on mental health, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders within the fashion industry and beyond. Every runway season, we host a fashion showcase that puts mental health and recovery center stage during New York Fashion Week.
Activists and Influencers are invited to walk the runway and showcase their designs to spread the message that there is life beyond recovery. We define being in recovery as being in recovery for substance use, a co-occurring disorder, risky behaviors such as sex and love addiction, gambling addiction, or self harm, disordered eating, being a suicide attempt survivor, and being in recovery for your mental health.
At Break Free, we are all recovering from something. Our next runway show will be held on Saturday, February 15th, 2025.
- 6 pm: Doors open to the venue, enjoy virtual highlights from our virtual panels or walk the red carpet
- 7 pm: The fashion show begins
