New York Fashion Week (NYFW) made its glamorous return this week, and Supermodels Unlimited Magazine (SU) hosted one of the hottest runway events of the season, “Billboards Over Broadway.” On Saturday February 10th, 2024, SU used the catwalk to send a powerful statement in support of women’s rights, inclusivity, and in support of Best Buddies International. Best Buddies International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates employment opportunities, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). SU presented Best Buddies Int’l with a check for $4,000.00 live during the showcase.
The entire event was even more heightened by the incredible venue, Nebula, which is NYC’s most futuristic nightspot. Hosting the event was reality TV star and philanthropist Jordan Kimball, famed for his engaging personality on TV shows such as “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise.” In a dazzling showcase of beauty and purpose, the runway was headlined by the current Miss USA, Noelia Voigt, and Miss Teen USA, UmaSofia Srivastava, along with Miss USA representatives from each state symbolizing the blend of elegance and social consciousness that defined the evening. During the NYFW show, the runway models were illuminated above by Nebula’s amazing overhead digital screens with their respective Magazine Covers, while simultaneously appearing on digital billboards across Times Square.
“Our team is excited to experience the life-changing work of Best Buddies. As their organization bridges gaps and transforms lives, we are honored to be a part of this mission!” says Laylah Rose, President/CEO of Miss USA.
Other confirmed guests included Laylah Rose, President/CEO of Miss USA, Alexandria Everett of America’s Next Top Model, Christian “King” Combs, and the dynamic American rap rock band Emblem3, who ended the runway event with an exhilarating concert that kept the crowd rocking for another hour after the show.
“We wanted our magazine to speak to current and future generations of women,” says Kimberly Clark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Supermodels Unlimited Magazine. “Tonight we accomplished that goal! We wish to thank all who came out to support the Magazine, Miss USA and Best Buddies International!” Clark has operated Supermodels Unlimited Magazine for 24 years and oversees National Marketing, Publishing & Events for Miss USA.
