Celebrities strut catwalk in New York dress gala

Celebrities have burst onto New York Fashion Week, donning couture red dresses made by some of America's top designers and strutting the catwalk to raise money for heart disease. The Red Dress Campaign is a charity gala that takes place each year during New York Fashion Week when organizers rely on the pulling power of popular names to rake in the cash. US singer and rock guitarist Joan Jett, who lost her mother to congenital heart failure, said Thursday's event was very personal. Anika Noni Rose, a singer and actress who appeared in Hollywood film "Dreamgirls" and is currently in rehearsals on Broadway, said New York came alive during Fashion Week.
