On Saturday, October 8, 2022, John’s Crazy Socks will stage a fashion and art show where all the models and artists have a differing ability.
At John’s Crazy Socks, we want to show the world what people with differing abilities can do. To further that mission, we are staging a Fashion and Art Show: Another Face of Beauty. All of the models in the fashion show will have a disability and there will be musical performances by people with differing abilities. There will also be an art show and the artwork will be created by people with differing abilities.
John Cronin, the co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks, said, “We want to show that beauty comes in many forms.”
