The 9th Annual Blue Jacket Fashion Show in New York City was more than just a runway spectacle; it was a powerful call to action for men's health awareness and prostate cancer detection.
ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer , an organization dedicated to advocacy, early detection, and reducing mortality rates of a disease that, quite frankly, had been flying under the radar for far too long. The air in New York City crackled with electric anticipation as the fashion cognoscenti descended upon the city for the most dazzling week of the year.
But before the couture-clad crowds dove into a whirlwind of shows and soirées, the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Fashion Show provided a sartorial spectacle with a mission. Taking center stage on Feb. 4 at LAVAN Midtown, 641 West 42nd St., this wasn’t just a runway show—it was a cultural call to arms.NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 04: Frederick Anderson and Tamron Hall attend the 9th Annual Blue Jacket Runway Show at LAVAN Midtown on February 04, 2025 in New York City.

This was where high fashion met high stakes. It was a wake-up call disguised as a jaw-dropping spectacle. From the polished floors of Wall Street to the red carpets of Hollywood, prostate cancer didn’t discriminate—and this event threw a megawatt spotlight on the need for early detection. With a lineup of celebrities, media personalities, and powerhouses from every sphere imaginable, the Blue Jacket movement wasn’t just about looking good—it was about staying alive.NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 04: J.

Science class legend turned runway model, Nye proved that STEM and style could, in fact, go hand in hand. Mario Cantone, Don Lemon, J. Harrison Ghee, Harold Perrineau, Dominic Fumusa, Eric West, James Aguiar, Omar Hernandez, and others shared the spotlight, slipping into custom-designed blue jackets to raise awareness in the most stylish way possible. Behind the scenes, the real power players—top American designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Thom Browne, Aknvas, Michael Kors, Carlos Campos, Terry Singh, and EPPERSON—reinvented the classic blue jacket as a symbol of strength, unity, and survival.

On the day of the show, Mount Sinai Hospital provided free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screenings because, in a city that moves at breakneck speed, making time for health is an act of rebellion.The Blue Jacket revolution didn’t stop at NYC. Thanks to Fashion Group International (FGI), the event was live-streamed at FGI.org, with viewing parties popping up across the country—from Philadelphia to Chicago, San Antonio to Washington, DC. Guests donned their best blue jackets in solidarity, proving that fashion could be both a force of creativity and a catalyst for change.Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among cisgender American men and the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in this demographic. The numbers are staggering: Latino men were diagnosed at alarming rates Transgender individuals had nearly double the mortality rate due to healthcare disparities This disease didn’t just impact individuals—it ripped through families, communities, and entire generations. Which is why this runway show was more than just a parade of well-dressed men—it was a battle cry.Frederick Anderson, the visionary behind the Blue Jacket movement, summed it up best: “Knowledge saves lives, and this is the must-attend show, and conversation on every fashionista’s lips.” Now housed in the larger LAVAN 641 venue, the show cemented itself as a NYFW staple, ensuring that style and survival remained inextricably linked. The fashion industry is often accused of being all flash, no substance—but events like the Blue Jacket Fashion Show shattered that narrative. It wasn’t just about what you wore, but what you stood for. So, if you missed it, consider this your sign to suit up, show up, and start the conversation—because when it comes to prostate cancer, silence is not an option. One thing’s for sure—Bill Nye owned that runway, and science has never looked so chic. What a glow-up!
