Fashion with a Voice Charity Fashion show presented by Dolls with Motives with Metrac.org was an amazing night showcasing some beautiful collections and creativity to a jam packed house at the Kalayaan Cultural Community Centre in Mississauga.
There was an electrifying energy in the air that night. The crowd was treated to the talents of musical guest Laura Cavacece, and an upbeat performance by Footnotes Dance Crew along with other performers. Many sponsors and fashion enthusiasts came out to show their support for this very worthy cause.
METRAC (Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women & Children) works with individuals, communities and institutions to change ideas, actions and policies with the goal of ending violence against women and youth.

Hosts Monica Vera and Gizele Mirassol keeping the crowd entertained and engaged all night.
The traditional barong with the distressed jeans was such a cool look.
A very courageous Emily Sahlen @emilybabybird
gave a very powerful account of her own experience dealing with and overcoming violence
