In the wake of another revolutionary fashion event and the anticipation of its first major New York
based catwalk show,

NINETEEN74 collaborates for a great cause with young professionals;
examining the issues of HIV and AIDS, improving sex education and promoting safer sex.

It is indeed true- the US, particularly areas in New York: eastern Brooklyn, the Bronx and Northern
Manhattan are in a state of sexual meltdown and the most threatened are teenagers.

HIV infections are registered among youths aged from 13-29; 1 in 3 students in NYC are being sexually active at present and there’s a disproportionate percentage of teenage pregnancies escalating.

Organised by NINETEEN74, director Raoul Keil; The NYC AGAINST HIV/AIDS fashion show will
cite the existing pressures and consequences of unprotected sex. It will present an impartial
approach providing the reality of the virus through two major elements: education and
entertainment. We don’t want to impose but rather expose the need for better sex education for
youths.

Through the sheer medium of fashion and visual performance, all of the designers and contributors
[make-up artists, stylists and models] involved tackle the motto: 1 LIFE 1 CHANCE.

NINETEEN74 are here to reinstate that safer sex is fashionable.

NYC AGAINST HIV/ AIDS FASHION SHOW will take place on Friday the 8th May from 15:30-
21:00, the fashion show: 18:00-18:30 at Midwood High School, Brooklyn College, 2839
Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11210. Organised by www.NINETEEN74.COM . Designers
