New York, New York - August 27, 2024 - A first-of-its-kind bipartisan fundraising fashion show is coming to New York City: Style Across the Aisle, where elected officials model the runway wearing designers from their districts, taking place at Gracie Mansion during New York Fashion Week.

An event designed to unite opposing political viewpoints through the power of fashion, Style Across the Aisle will foster community spirit by featuring state and city leaders modeling styles from local designers in their districts. For the first time, political leaders from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints will share the runway, demonstrating that fashion can be a vehicle for dialogue, collaboration and understanding. 

"Shining the spotlight on local policymakers “This event is a testament to the power of bringing people together in ways that transcend politics,” said Skye Ostreicher, founder of Style Across the Aisle. “We are thrilled to create a unique opportunity to showcase the talent within our communities while highlighting the common ground that exists beyond political differences. By having our elected officials model designs from their own districts, we’re not only celebrating fashion but also fostering the spirit of unity and collaboration that New York needs.”

The inaugural Style Across the Aisle benefits the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving the historic Gracie Mansion and promoting its use as a cultural and civic hub for the people of New York. The landmark home, known as “The People’s House,” is where New York City Mayor Adams hosts a wide variety of community engagement and cultural events - but never a fashion show.
