Our Beneficiary this year, Egypt (IFY) Ufele, with the help of her mother, decided to start a charity called Bully Chasers. It’s an organization that supports youth who have been bullied as well as provide them with the platform to speak about the experience. Growing up, Ify had fun making Barbie doll clothes with her grandmother, Nellie Rembert.  After learning how to sew for her dolls, Ify began to make clothing for herself, because she really couldn’t find fashionable pieces in her size. Everything seemed “boxy” or unflattering for a curvy kid. In July 2015, Ify showcased her new fashion line at UBM’s (Unique Blend Models) Fashion event where the host and her publicist, Yvonne Forbes, announced that Ify’s line was formulated around an anti-bullying campaign. Ironically, Ify named her clothing line, Chubiiline.

1426 Fashion Week will showcase many talented fashion designers who have countless inspiring stories to tell about how they come to put their mark on fashion.
