Break Free is transforming the runway into a platform for advocacy, awareness, and empowerment. This immersive fashion showcase places mental health, substance use, and recovery center stage during New York Fashion Week. Each season, we invite activists, influencers, and designers to celebrate the message that there is life beyond recovery.

We define recovery broadly, encompassing substance use, co-occurring disorders, risky behaviors like sex and love addiction, gambling addiction, self-harm, disordered eating, surviving a suicide attempt, and mental health recovery. At Break Free, we believe everyone is recovering from something—and we celebrate that journey.

This season’s designers include:

  • Sky Eagle Collection: A celebration of Native American culture and resilience through fashion.
  • Rehab Studios: A brand dedicated to inspiring and celebrating recovery from addiction and mental illness.
  • Chablis Designs: A cornerstone of the New Jersey fashion scene, showcasing decades of style and innovation.
