Not My Eyes 2025 Fashion Show

SPRING FLING 2025

4th Annual Not My Eyes, Inc. Fashion Showcase & Fundraiser

April 5, 2025 | ADRIA Hotel & Conference Center | Queens, New York

CHERISH THE SEASON, CELEBRATE THE DIFFERENCE.

Spring Fling 2025 welcomed the new season with an evening celebrating style, inclusion, empowerment, and possibility. The 4th Annual Not My Eyes, Inc. Fashion Showcase and Fundraiser brought blind and visually impaired models to the runway, creating an experience where fashion became a platform for visibility, confidence, and self-expression.

But Spring Fling was about more than fashion.

It was an opportunity to change the way blindness and visual impairment are seen—placing visually impaired individuals at the center of an experience traditionally designed without them in mind.

THE RUNWAY

The 2025 runway brought together bold looks, statement pieces, vibrant colors, sophisticated styles, and individuality. Each walk represented more than a fashion moment—it represented confidence, presence, and the freedom to be seen for who you are.

The photographs from Spring Fling 2025 capture that energy: models owning the runway, expressing their personal style, and demonstrating that visual impairment does not diminish beauty, confidence, or the ability to command a room.

MORE THAN A SHOW

Spring Fling also created opportunities for community connection, networking, live entertainment, and unique vendors, bringing supporters, families, fashion professionals, and the VIP community together for an evening with purpose.

Proceeds supported NME’s work providing mobility training, assistive technology, and community programs, while the 2025 fundraiser specifically supported the organization’s effort to provide assistive technology to the National Association of/for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

FASHION WITH A PURPOSE

Every designer, fashion professional, sponsor, vendor, volunteer, and supporter contributed to a larger vision: creating greater possibilities for people who are blind and visually impaired.

Spring Fling 2025 demonstrated what happens when fashion and advocacy share the same runway.

We didn’t simply put VIPs on a runway.We created a runway where VIPs belonged.
