Celebrity Kids strut their stuff on the catwalk for the 13th Annual Rookie USA Fashion Show presented by Haddad Brands will take place this year in New York City on Wednesday, September 6th.

The sparkle of New York Fashion Week got a little brighter this year with the return of the Rookie USA Fashion Show. Hosted at the chic IRON23 venue, this isn’t your average runway event. Imagine this: adorable celebrity kids and young influencers working the catwalk, flaunting the latest from big-name brands like Nike, Jordan, and Levi’s. But there’s more to this show than just pint-sized fashionistas and trendy clothes.

Style with Substance

Tonight, it’s not just about the fashion; it’s about making a real difference. The show is teaming up with Moms for Moms NYC, a charity backed by NY Knicks star Julius Randle. The goal? To help out single moms who are struggling by giving them essential baby and postpartum supplies. So yes, the evening is glamorous, but it’s also about giving back.

Who’s Who of the Evening

Hold on to your seats, because New York’s very own pint-sized powerhouse, Haileigh Vasquez, will be hosting the night. And the entertainment? Sophia Rita and the Knicks City Kids are all set to steal the show. Plus, DJ Sophia Rocks is taking care of the tunes, so you know the atmosphere is going to be electric.

For the grown-ups in the room, the cocktails are on Cincoro Tequila — a brand co-founded by none other than NBA legend Michael Jordan. Talk about mixing style and spirits!

Cheers from the Supporters

Moms for Moms exists to fill an urgent need at a critical time. Moms for Moms provides single mothers, living in abusive, homeless, and low-income situations, with two care packages that include the CRITICAL SUPPLIES women need most after the birth of a child: a POSTPARTUM RECOVERY CARE KIT for themselves and a NEWBORN BABY BUNDLE for their child (ages 0–6 months). These care packages are designed to alleviate the stress and financial burden that becoming a mother can bring while also helping to begin one’s journey into motherhood with pride and dignity.

Cincoro Tequila was founded in 2019 by NBA legend Michael Jordan and NBA owners Jeanie Buss of the Lakers, Wes Edens of the Bucks, Emilia Fazzalari and Wyc Grousbeck of the Celtics. The five founders are fierce competitors that bonded over a shared passion for tequila, and they set out with one mission: to create the finest tequila anyone has ever tasted. In just three years, Cincoro has sold over 1.5 million bottles nationally and has won 28 awards in accredited spirits competitions.
