CAPWALK NYC Fashion Show

Thank you for joining us for our 1st Annual CAPWALK NYC to support those battling cancer!

On September 24, 2024, the Verma Foundation hosted a star-studded CAPWALK NYC Fashion Show in the heart of Chelsea, featuring cancer survivors escorted down the runway by FOX 5 NY on-air personalities, New York athletes and local celebrities. Models wore designs by the iconic fashion designer Nicole Miller paired with the foundation’s signature cap wigs. Proceeds raised go towards the Verma Foundation’s program to make and give real hair cap wigs to cancer patients – completely free of cost.

NOTABLE RUNWAY CELEBRITIES: Jets Defensive Lineman Solomon Thomas, Good Day New York Anchors Rosanna Scotto and Curt Menefee, FOX Meteorologists Mike Woods and Audrey Puente, FOX Sports Anchor Tina Cervasio, FOX Anchor Bianca Peters, Co-Host of the Elvis Duran Show Medha Gandhi, Actor and former Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi and Actress Sheetal Sheth. Emceed by FOX Anchor Steve Lacy. 

Guests enjoyed a lounge-style reception at the beautiful and dynamic Lavan Chelsea centrally located in the heart of Chelsea, New York. From a vintage car parked in front to a baseball cap graffiti-making station and live painting, there was no shortage of entertainment during the cocktail hour. Passed hors d’oeuvres included fresh oysters, sushi, Indian fusion, gelato and cakes with signature cocktails.

The event culminated with a dynamic and powerful fashion show, kicked off (literally!) by amazing breakdancers and remarks by the iconic Nicole Miller. Models donned NM styles paired with the foundation’s custom real hair cap wigs. The moment of the night – when all the cancer survivor models took off their cap wigs in unison, celebrating life and beauty with or without hair!

NOTABLE FRONT ROW CELEBRITIES: Super Bowl Champion Devin McCourty,  Radio Legend Elvis Duran with Co-Host Danielle Monaro, Equinox CEO Harvey Spevak, Netflix stars Jojo and Nicky Scarlotta.
