"Styles Beyond Stereotypes" presents a fashion show unlike any other, set to captivate you on October 12th, 2024.

Join us for an evening where fashion transcends expectations and challenges stereotypes. Our mission is to spotlight the often overlooked abilities and unique personalities of individuals living with disabilities.

At the helm of this groundbreaking event is renowned fashion designer Ryland Alms. With creativity and vision, Alms and fellow design Brittany Gierhart will transform materials primarily sourced from the Arc Thrift Store into unparalleled, one-of-a-kind designs for models with disabilities.

Prepare to be astonished as basic items undergo a metamorphosis into cutting-edge, cohesive fashion collections. This promises to be a night etched in your memory, where every garment tells a story of empowerment and resilience.

Join us in celebrating diversity and inclusion in the realm of fashion—a night that promises to redefine boundaries and inspire change.

Discovering Transformative Potential

We hope this event will offer you a glimpse into the challenging yet magical world of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Beyond the countless doctor's appointments, therapies, and paperwork, beyond the constant struggle for services and support, lies an individual who is remarkably capable of so much more than meets the eye. When given the opportunity, they have the power to profoundly impact your heart and transform your perspective on life forever.
