IN PHOTOS: When homeless people hit the catwalk
Homeless people from an area in Bogota, Colombia modeled clothing sold at a shopping center and were given free food, showers, hair cuts and clothing, as part of the mall’s social responsibility program for nearly 200 homeless and drug addicts who live in the area.
How will they be transformed? Here are some photos by Associated Press photographer Fernando Vergara:
