Conceived by Alfina Astor, CEO of Daylight Studio, this avant-garde fashion show seamlessly intertwined fashion, dance, and rap performances with a crucial narrative on sustainability. By partnering with environmental experts from Yale University and professors from FIT, Astor ensured the event not only dazzled with creative flair but also delivered a meaningful message. The VIP crowd, a who’s who of influencers, buyers, stylists, photographers, and industry experts, were treated to an exhilarating fusion of art forms. This fresh approach to fashion presentations captivated audiences and set a new benchmark for how trends are unveiled in the industry.
Sustainability took center stage at the event, with designers showcasing garments crafted from deadstock fabrics, as well as ethically sourced and reusable materials. This commitment to eco-friendly practices highlighted the potential for fashion to innovate responsibly and sustainably.
The show featured a stellar lineup of eco-conscious designers, including Nan Seo of Nan SEO, Joy Qiu of ZiNg QiU, Andres Biel of IflyUniverse, Leo Hsiung of Voyagers, and Merhwait Tesfai of MerZiet. Notably, the event also highlighted the work of designers Jose Martinez and Michael Vias, who are supported by AHRC, a nonprofit agency dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to lead full and equitable lives. Each designer presented collections that underscored passion and dedication to the environment, with thoughtful, artistic expressions that resonated deeply with the audience.
Opening and closing the show were top dancers, including Naomi Romero Pedroso and Aya Krim, who set the tone for the evening and kept the audience energized throughout the event. The dancers’ performances were masterfully choreographed by world-renowned talent Valeria Alaviie, adding an extra layer of artistry to the fashion presentations.
