From flood streams to fashion dreams. OBRFW to aid local models.  

By: Jourdan Riley BATON ROUGE, La – As tears fell down Mckenzie Perrion’s face, the questions ‘What is happening? What’s going on?’ were all the preteen could register.  

The Pierron family wasn’t expecting their house to flood, nor could they predict having to be rescued by boat. 

Over 100,000 homes were estimated to have flooded in the 2016 Louisiana Flood in August. The Pierron home just happened to be in one of the most impacted areas – Livingston Parish. 

Founder and executive producer Brandon D. Campbell of Oneofakind Baton Rouge Fashion Week decided he wanted to do something to give back to the community. 

This year, OBRFW asks for donations, in which proceeds will be used to help OBRFW alumni who have been affected by the flood. 

Mckenzie’s mom, Shannon, said Campbell’s actions are admirable. 

“There was a time when we thought that no one cared,” Shannon said. “You know, here’s Louisiana going under water and we weren’t getting that national media coverage or anything. Here’s a man, he’s not even from here, and he’s reaching out to try to help our community and to me that’s awesome.” 

McKenzie, 13, has modeled with OBRFW for two years now and will participate for her third time. Mckenzie said this year she is most looking forward to walking in the BARE show, one of five events, and can’t wait to strut down the catwalk. 

“It’s just really fun and takes me to another place, Mckenzie said. “I feel free when I’m walking down a runway. You let go of all of your worries. Everything in the past doesn’t matter. All that matters is that moment when you’re walking down the runway.” 

Mckenzie and more than 60 models from across the region will be modeling fashion labels by emerging designers at the BIG Night on Saturday, February 18th at the Belle of Baton Rouge Hotel, located at 103 France St. in downtown Baton Rouge. Doors open at 7 pm for mingling, food and a complimentary glass of wine. Advanced ticket prices are $50. A portion of the proceeds from the BIG Night will benefit OBRFW alumni, including other models, like Mckenzie.
