"Fashion Unites" will feature Kardashian, Graham and other models wearing looks from their own wardrobes styled by Roitfeld and her team remotely.
Karlie Kloss, Hailey Baldwin, Adriana Lima, Diane von Fürstenberg, Halima Aden, Virgil Abloh, Karolina Kurkova, Alexander Wang, Joan Smalls, Amber Valletta, Winnie Harlow and Irina Shayk will also make appearances.
In addition, the special will feature musical performances and tributes and messages from fashion designers.
"Embracing fashion as the creative expression through which to support the health and safety of our global communities, we hope this show can offer a small moment of hope, inspiration and uplifting connection for those who are doing their part to self-isolate," Roitfeld said in a statement. "A modest contribution as our world unites to collectively weather the storm of this pandemic together."
The inaugural CR Runway show took place in Florence, Italy, in June.
