An Evening of Fashion at The W

October 19, 2011 - It was certainly an evening of fashion at the beautiful W hotel in Washington DC where this event took place to benefit the Children's National Medical Center. This event is presented by Ninos Rising in association with Mundovision Media, and BRAG! Models Agency.

Executive Chef and Restaurant Owner, Mike Cordero has supported many causes through the years and decided to begin a cause he is passionate about (Ninos Rising). Mike grew up in an under privileged home in the South Bronx in NYC, and knows firsthand what it is like to have so many strikes against you. He is now giving back to the community.

"Children's National Medical Center is the only exclusive provider of pediatric care in the metropolitan Washington area and is the only freestanding children's hospital between Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, and Atlanta. Serving the nation's children for over 140 years, is a proven leader in the development and application of innovative new treatments for childhood illness and injury."

Sports Anchors Britt McHenry and Jorge Andres served as the events hosts and Aaron Machado from Project Runway served as the Fashion Host for the evening. Makeup and hair styling was done by Ink Cosmetics and W Salon. The Fashion Show featured designs by Red Chapter, Donovan England and Tsyndyma. DJ Neekola helped create an energetic and atmospheric vibe within the POV Lounge and there were dynamic performances by international artist Jason Cerda and also by two child virtuoso performers: Alex Fadul, and Isaiah Lemons.

Thanks to all who helped make this evening special including the volunteers, sponsors and all who came out for this evening at The W.
