'A fashion show showcasing long underwear was held in the Chilean capital, Santiago, on Monday, aimed at raising awareness of the hardships faced by homeless people in low temperatures. The show was organised by Chilean charity, Home of Christ, which provides night shelter for the homeless and foster homes for young people at risk. Some of Santiago\'s TV personalities strutted their stuff on the catwalk, flashing their long underwear and moving to the beat as a crowd watched. The Chaplain for Home of Christ, Pablo Walker, said the fashion show was a celebration of communities that help the homeless but also \"a stunt to rebuild the feeling of community and family.\" There are about 12-thousand Chileans living in the streets, according to the charity.
