Chicago Fire stars roam the catwalk for "Soccer & Style" charity fashion show | SIDELINE

It's been a tough season for the Chicago Fire, but they found a welcome bit of fun and community service off the field – way off the field – last month.

The Men in Red got a chance to turn heads for reasons other than soccer on Sept. 16, as the Fire took to the runway for the third annual “Soccer & Style” charity fashion show in the heart of the Windy City.


The occasion provided several players with an opportunity to don this season's hottest looks and show off their modeling chops for a good cause, as all proceeds from the event benefitted the Chicago Fire Foundation.



Goalkeeper Sean Johnson, defender Eric Gehrig and midfielders Matt Polster and Matt Watson were among those who took a trip – albeit some reluctantly – down the catwalk, stepping out of their comfort zones in a way that would've made Jurgen Klinsmann proud.
