FOR ZERO PROSTATE CANCER
By Marcus G Blassingame
On World Cancer Day, visionary designer Frederick Guy Anderson brings the Blue Jacket Fashion Show roaring back to New York City for its landmark 10th year.

The Blue Jacket Fashion Show Marks a Decade in New York
Frederick Anderson, the visionary force behind the Blue Jacket Fashion Show, inspires a triumphant return to New York City for its 10th commemorative edition. This event transcends the traditional runway; it embodies a movement, a bold declaration that fashion can catalyze change. The stage will beam with A-list talent adorned in daring blue ensembles from leading designers, all united to raise a resonant call to action: address prostate cancer with urgency and grace.
From the outset, the show is underscored by a powerful partnership. Johnson & Johnson, now in its tenth year of fueling the event, stands at the helm alongside Anderson’s artistic leadership. Audiences should anticipate captivating silhouettes from iconic designers, candid survivor narratives, and a constellation of celebrities whose presence amplifies the mission—the primacy of early detection and proactive health care.
“Johnson & Johnson is devoted to advancing the well-being of those affected by prostate cancer, a commitment we have upheld for many years,” stated Biljana, President, U.S. Solid Tumor at Johnson & Johnson. “This milestone anniversary symbolizes a decade of J&J’s pivotal role in a transformative movement—one that empowers men to take charge of their health and pursue timely screenings.”
The ten-year milestone reframes the narrative: fashion as a conduit for awareness, resilience, and hope. As the Blue Jacket Fashion Show roars back to the city, it invites audiences to witness not only style but a shared pledge that early detection saves lives.

The Blue Jacket Fashion Show: A Tapestry of Collaboration and Purpose
The Blue Jacket Fashion Show—along with steadfast allies—has woven a refined chapter for 2024, inviting LISC to join its esteemed roster of sponsors. As one of the nation’s largest community development organizations, LISC furthers the show’s enduring mission: to nurture vibrant, resilient communities across America. By aligning with residents and partners, they strive to close systemic gaps in health, wealth, and opportunity, all while advancing racial equity so that people and places may flourish.
The collaboration underscores a shared dedication to elevate prostate cancer awareness across communities nationwide, seizing the milestone year as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully. Early detection, it is affirmed, redefines outcomes; through collective effort, men and families can aspire to healthier, stronger lives.
From this vantage, the partnership embodies a higher purpose. The Blue Jacket Fashion Show evolves into a forum where leaders in fashion, health, and advocacy converge to provoke thoughtful dialogue and decisive action. On World Cancer Day, the message resonates: prostate cancer touches more than those diagnosed—it reverberates through families and communities everywhere. ZERO Prostate Cancer’s mission—to ensure no one fights this disease alone—finds a resonant ally in these events, helping to dismantle barriers, raise awareness, and kindle hope.
Zero Prostate is proud to partner with BlackDoctors.org as the official media partner for this year’s fashion show, a testament to the transformative power of inclusive storytelling in advancing health equity.
Man Cave Health and Northwell Health will sponsor PSA testing at multiple locations in New York City in the run-up to the February 4 fashion show. In collaboration with Frederick Anderson—the visionary designer behind the Blue Jacket Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week—Man Cave Health reiterates its conviction that addressing men’s health demands true teamwork and creative partnerships, as expressed by Executive Director Chris Masters.
Together, they compose a unified refrain: a celebration of fashion’s capacity to mobilize communities, a commitment to proactive health, and a shared belief that collaboration can translate awareness into action, screening into care, and communities into stronger, more resilient places in which to live.
