Since he was a young boy, Rashad Corey had a dream to work in fashion and now he's doing just that. But his work also has a mission and it's tied to his own personal story of devastation and perseverance.

On Saturday night, men and women moved up and down the catwalk, wearing clothing with a message.

Proceeds from the event will go to local charities.
