However, the mark that was left on the fashion world the very first evening of NYFW was enormous. The celebrities from the reality world to the sports world lent their hearts, hands, bodies, and checkbooks to the Red Dress show sponsored by the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign.
February is National Heart Disease Awareness month and this Red Dress show definitely delivered on bringing attention to such a great cause.
From 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star NeNe Leakes donning her spicy red Dolce & Gabana dress to the 'Food Network's' Giada DiLaurentis' Carolina Herrera gown, the runway was set ablaze with celebrities showing their support for this very important cause.
The highlight of the night, however, came when gold medalist skier Lindsay Vonn ripped the runway in her sexy Cynthia Rowley dress with her crutches as an accessory. Vonn is still recovering from knee surgery but she proved that she is definitely not letting that keep her down.
The audience, full of heart disease survivors that were also decked out in red evening gowns, made for a night to remember. The support for this cause was a huge way to bring awareness to such a devastating disease effecting women and families across America.
Kudos to the the stars and fashion designers that showed up and showed out for such an important event.
