In Cali, Colombia, a fashion event is being organized with a dual purpose: to showcase design with a conscience and to aid in the recovery of the Institute for Children who are Blind and Deaf in Valle del Cauca. This initiative aims to bring hope and support to the institute, which has been impacted by a recent earthquake.

More than 40 designers and artists are participating in this charitable endeavor. They are contributing by donating their artworks and collectible pieces. These contributions will be auctioned or sold, with all proceeds directed towards the rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts for the institute.

The fashion show is envisioned as a runway that rebuilds hope, particularly for the visually and hearing-impaired children served by the institute. By leveraging the power of art and design, the event seeks to foster a sense of community support and drive the recovery process for these vulnerable children.
