Paralympian, actress, and model Aimee Mullins and her actor husband Rupert Friend brought together supporters of the Sarabande Foundation for an evening of fun and fundraising at The Standard, East Village.
As a teenager, having lived most of her life as a double amputee, Aimee Mullins envisioned someday co-creating a pair of prosthetic legs that were beautiful and inspiring to look at—not like the clunky wooden and rubber unisex ones she’d been forced to accept. “The first person who ever took me up on it was Lee McQueen,” the actress, model, and Paralympian told those gathered atop The Standard, East Village, for this year’s Sarabande Foundation dinner.
The day-long event saw 90 industry professionals from luxury labels, media companies, and creative agencies meet with 250 students and graduates to offer invaluable career advice as they figure out their next steps. Understandably, longtime program director Trino Verkade was “shattered” and losing her voice, having helped facilitate over 1,000 interviews for 250 participants. “We’re fortunate enough to find the most amazing creatives who think outside the box,” she said of Sarabande.
