Having a blast: DC on Heels with FFP
Fashion Director Elaine Mensah
Check out our photo highlights from the 6th Annual Fashion Fights Poverty non-runway event. Yes, you read that right. Runways are so 2008.

This years FFP was all about models in the raw... live action... up close and very personal. Scroll below to see just what a non-runway fashion event  looks like.
