On October 22nd in Miami, the glamorous Perez Art Museum transformed into a beacon of philanthropy and fashion, playing host to the Catwalk for Charity by Angels For Humanity in collaboration with the esteemed fashion house, Balmain.

In an era where luxury often revolves around self-indulgence, this unique Miami event seamlessly blended sophistication, Fashion and philanthropy. The prestigious Perez Art Museum saw the crème de la crème of society, gathered not just for an exclusive display of Balmain's collection, but to support the charity Angels for Humanity and all the philanthropic work they do illuminating kids futures. 

Nadia Ferreira opened the runway setting an impeccable tone for the evening while her husband and legendary Marc Anthony sat front row among other distinguished attendees. Their presence was emblematic of the A-list attendance of Catwalk for Charity. Social scenes saw the likes of Kiki Barth and Guerdy Abraira, familiar faces from the Housewives of Miami, mingling with high-profile personalities like Camila and Tatiana Guiribitey, Marta Bloom, Sandra Fiorenza, Krystina Laukien, among others.

Founded by the visionary Judith Joseph, Angels for Humanity has consistently championed the causes of underprivileged kids in regions like Miami, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. Their commitment to tackling a wide spectrum of social issues affecting children has resonated with countless individuals, bringing them to the forefront of charitable initiatives.

The evening was an epitome of elegance. Guests were greeted with a red carpet welcome, leading to a cocktail hour with views of Miami's iconic sunset - a perfect backdrop for the ensuing Balmain showcase. But the opulence didn't overshadow the purpose. The night culminated in a live auction, with attendees bidding generously, followed by a gourmet dining experience and afterparty.

In a continued spirit of generosity, Balmain Balharbor pledged to donate a part of its proceeds from purchases made by event attendees to the charity, further cementing the symbiotic relationship between fashion and philanthropy.


Celebrating its 9th edition, the Catwalk for Charity wasn't just another event on Miami's social calendar; it was a testament to the power of community, collaboration, and commitment to making a difference.
