Jessica White, photographer Nigel Barker, Coco RochaNigel Barker is making sure every step taken during Fashion Week is for a good cause, so PopEater hit the pavement with the 'America's Next Top Model' photographer in NYC's iconic Meatpacking District to kick off Nine West's Runway Relief, which raises awareness for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. Barker is passionate about his latest project, adding it should "hit home" for everyone. "My wife's grandmother died of breast cancer. It was very hard for us," he tells PopEater.

The philanthropic photographer isn't missing a beat, though, living life to the fullest and gearing up for season 16 of 'Top Model.' Andrew Leon Tally is back on the panel as a permanent judge, and this year, there's a new magazine sponsor.

"This season's winner will receive the cover of Italian Vogue!" Barker reveals. "We've always been known for our antics, so it's a great, exciting season."
