Fashion Week Brooklyn (FWBK) is a bi-annual international collection show founded by the 501c3 non-profit, the BK Style
Foundation (BKSF). FWBK has emerged as one of the leading fashion events showcasing the talent of aspiring and established
designers from across the globe. Attendees include a diverse spectrum of socially conscious and influential fashion-forward men and
women.
The event will focus on raising funds and awareness for Denim Day NYC , which is a nationwide annual event that spotlights
rape prevention and education while dispelling myths that surround rape and sexual assault.
BK Style/Fashion Week Brooklyn championed Denim Day NYC on April 29 th, 2015
Denim Day NYC – In the Spring of 2010, community agencies and local government officials partnered with Peace Over Violence in
L.A. to hold the first ever Denim Day NYC press conference highlighting issues of sexual assault and violence. This annual campaign
is commemorated in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous
and destructive attitudes about sexual assault. Denim Day NYC, now in its fifth year, incudes sexual assault awareness campaigns
throughout the City in the month of April. Over 45 community based organizations and dozens of elected officials attended the Denim
Day NYC 2015 press conference. www.denimday.nyc
