"Former governor David Paterson, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and former Congresswoman and City Council Members Julie Menin, Joann Ariola, Althea Stevens, Julie Won, and Gail Brewer also walked in the show. Or, in Brewer's case, crossed her arms repeatedly in a show of protest before stepping right off the runway's edge. While many wore elevated streetwear or tailored jackets-from council member's Keith Powers' cable knit coat by Tod + Tom to Executive Director of the NYC Office of Nightlife Jeffrey Garcia's"

Oh, and a literal ball gown, worn by a woman who quite literally jumped to her feet when Cuomo (wearing a pretty standard suit) closed the show. Bipartisanship may be all but dead, but Cuomosexuals are still alive and well!"
Numerous New York political figures, including David Paterson, Mark Levine, Julie Menin, Joann Ariola, Althea Stevens, Julie Won, and Gail Brewer, took part in a runway presentation. Many participants chose elevated streetwear or tailored jackets, while most opted for modest dresses or suits with small embellishments. A Westchester legislator wore an electronic lapel pin reading “Across the aisle for justice.” Attendees skewed over 30 and largely aimed for business casual, though several conspicuous outfits appeared.
