It was all golden on the chicken way this New York Fashion Week as Raising Cane’s hit the Big Apple with a fun day of style and tasty delights in Times Square on Sept. 10.
Making a grand fashion debut with live window models at its global flagship, the fastest growing franchise in America showcased the new “Cane’s Varsity Collection” and “Western Ballad” retail lines in the world’s biggest destination.
Brooks Nader, Sports Illustrated model and Dancing with the Stars cast member; Ciara Miller, star of Bravo’s Summer House, Kelsey Anderson The Bachelor star; and Sam Hurley, University of Texas High Jumper and top-earning NIL athlete, all gathered in the colorful attire for a delicious day that showcased the fantastic looks in the heart of Manhattan.
Cane’s iconic Times Square window displays were repurposed to serve as Instagramable fashion moments as the Nader sisters, Miller, Anderson, and Hurley modeled Cane’s newest retail line before thousands of fans from around the globe.
“This is the perfect partnership – Cane’s has the best food ever. My go-to order is a Box Combo and Coke, it doesn’t get much better than that,” said Miller. “The ‘Western Ballad’ line is totally my vibe. Put on some boots and you’re good to go.”
Modeling “Cane’s Varsity Collection,” Brooks took a moment to reflect on her joy for being at the location during a busy and hectic week in the fashion industry. Slowing down for a bite and sip of lemonade was a perfect way to sit back and enjoy things done the Cane’s way after hopping from show to show in New York. It made her time even sweeter at Cane’s when she unveiled where her passion for the beloved restaurant began.
“We grew up right down the street from ‘The Mothership’ on Highland Road and went there all the time. When I moved to New York City, I always missed it and it was always my first stop when I went home,” said Brooks. “Now, since they opened in New York, I love not having to cross state lines to enjoy Raising Cane’s!”
During the event, the models posed in the thematic window displays and Caniac Corner, enjoyed Box Combos, tried on retail and called out orders. DJ Elena Cruz spun the sounds of the fun day as event attendees had the chance to try on pieces from the collections.
“It was great having Brooks, Sarah Jane, Ciara, Kelsey, and Sam at our Global Flagship in Times Square to kick off our New York Fashion Week debut. The varsity and western lines are fun and different than anything we’ve ever released, and I couldn’t think of better people to model these looks,” said Todd Graves. “Brooks and Sarah Jane are Baton Rouge natives, and Kelsey is from Louisiana, so they grew up on Cane’s and it was fun seeing their worlds come together. Like Brooks and Sarah Jane, Ciara is a professional model and Sam is no stranger to the camera as one of NIL’s top earning athletes – it was a win all around and I hope our fans enjoy these new retail lines.”
