'*Video by Allie Beckwith: alliebeckwith.com* Our S/S16 \"Signature Statements\" Collection debut at AMCONYC during New York Fashion Week. The line? A bold, minimalist take on our mission to end the stigma associated with mental illness. The show featured This is My Brave co-founder Jennifer Marshall, who performed spoken word as models walked down the runway, intertwining the messages on each garment with a powerful story of mental illness. The models? Cast not only on their looks, but their connection to mental health - we call them Role Models. Some of the faces to walk included WYL\'s own small-town model Nicki Palmer, former plus sized-contestant on America\'s Next Top Model - and current VP at Project UROK - Sarah Hartshorne, and Degrassi actress Sarah Fisher.'
