Most runway shows take place during specific fashion weeks – within the walls of hotspots in major cities worldwide. Recently, however, SOREL broke the mold – the brand's shoes completely unearthed fashion norms for the New York show in early October.
Professional models, for one, were not involved. Instead, SOREL chose to play & # 39; a series of real, everyday women. The show began on a typical runway, but quickly opened and continued on the streets of New York's Meatpacking District.
The show is about the latest models from SOREL and more about empowering women with a simple message: The world is your runway. Watch behind the scenes how the unique display of SOREL's fall line came to life.
(100) New York City Women

SOREL cast a diverse group of 100 women from all over the city of New York to walk to the show. After hours of accessories, each woman wore clothing from the Trunk Club, a personal clothing brand. The look, designed by Kate Young, ranged from cool, useful jumpsuits to breezy shirt dresses and comfortable sweater-and-denim combos.
After the event, all clothing was donated to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that provides support and professional ensembles for low-income women as they go through the job interview process.
(1) Mile-long runway

The fashion show began like any other: a stage, a brand background, bright lights, upbeat music and a seated audience. But as each woman reached the end of the runway, she stepped off the stage, left the venue and continued on a mapped, mile-long lane – up and down the High Line and all over the Meatpacking District.
