Last night, the wish of 15-year-old Stacy was finally granted when she fulfilled her dream of becoming a supermodel (on a rose petal-lined runway alongside Petra Nemcova, nonetheless). Along with Stacy, 18 Make-A-Wish kids were prepped with a modeling lesson from Nemcova before walking the runway in the first-ever fashion show benefitting the foundation.

Hosted by celebrity stylist Brad Goreski in Los Angeles, the inaugural show was thrown in collaboration with BCBG Max Azria—marking the first time the fashion brand has staged a runway show on the West Coast. BCBG’s Lubov Azria was also in attendance, posing with the Wish kids on the red carpet before the show began.

On the runway, the kids were joined by supermodel Petra Nemcova and Alyssa Milano, a long-time supporter of the Make-A-Wish foundation, all wearing fall BCBG Max Azria looks. The black tie event helped raise money for Make-A-Wish kids with life threatening illnesses.
