Crochet takes the runway at Fashion Week Rochester!
WOW, it’s been a wonderful week on this crochet adventure! This Thursday was the culmination of months of work — presenting my new crochet collection at Fashion Week Rochester!
Fashion shows are a LOT of work, but I love them for a few reasons:
There’s nothing like seeing someone confidently strut their stuff in your designs on the runway. I literally cry every time. Helping others feel gorgeous and find their inner baddie is my “why” for being in the fashion industry, and experiencing it this way is so visceral.
I have the most wonderful team! From the community of diverse models I’ve built, to my fabulous hair and makeup glam squad, to stylists and photographers and fellow designers and more — I LOVE connecting with the creative folks in my city and beyond
Leaning into a theme for my collections encourages me to stretch my creative limits. This year I chose vampire gothic, and it was EPIC! My inner angsty teen was sooo into it. I mean come on, I got to wear black lipstick. It doesn’t get better than that ;)
I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and I already can’t wait until the next one!
Follow my socials for more photos soon, but in the meantime you can watch my video diary here!
