The mentors will work closely with the VFILES team to select and consult with the designers, models, the hair and makeup team, photographers, and stylists for the show scheduled for September 7, 2016 at 8.00 p.m. All talent on the runway and backstage will be from VFILES.com. 

VFILES Runway has sourced its talent for six seasons now from vfiles.com: a place where users can upload their work, share it with a global audience, collaborate with one another, and get recognized. VFILES exists to connect and empower a global youth community.

“We are incredibly excited to be consulting with Naomi, Pat, Jerry, Mel, and Jeffery as we prep for the seventh season of VFILES Runway. Each has an incredible vision and are also not scared to take risks where moving fashion forward is concerned. Fashion today belongs to the risk takers and those who will push the boundaries of their ideas and how they are communicated.”—Julie Anne Quay, VFILES CEO and Founder

Winners from previous seasons of VFILES Runway have went on to receive the industry’s highest accolades (LVMH and CFDA awards), picked up by global retailers (Selfridges, Colette, Urban Outfitters), and seen on the world’s most recognized influencers from Future and Justin Bieber to Rihanna and Beyoncé.

Previous seasons have also featured performances by Tyga, Sophie Beem, A-Trak, and Migos. Fashion, music and pop culture are one and the same on the VFILES Runway. This season will be no different with a slate of young artists scheduled to perform.
