Welcome to a new era, where Skye Aire, Dragonwing, Lion + Owl, Peach & Penny, Garb, Factory Fashion, and SumOne did not just showcase clothing—they told stories and dreams through threads! The show was kicked off by the dynamic duo of Sam Schacher and her mini-me daughter Sophie, dressed in whimsical glam from Peach & Penny.

On the flip side, Lion + Owl brought feels with its sensory-friendly attire for autistic and neurodivergent kids, embracing comfort and purpose in every stitch. Watching the young models twirl and frolic effortlessly was truly warming.

Peach & Penny then took us on a fairytale trip with ballet-inspired pieces and whimsy galore. The swirl of tulle and satin, the lilac hues—all adding to the dream-like magic!

Garb, famously known for golf apparel, surprised with athleisure that’s chic on and off the field. The models rocked timeless windbreakers and tennis skirts in vibrant palettes, wrapping athletic ease with a hint of elegance.

Factory Fashion and the Isabella Joy Thallas Foundation collab waved creativity, honoring Isabella Joy through artful fashion. This collection was a testament to resilience and community, using clothes as a statement.

Hold up, because Skye Barker Maa wasn’t done yet! Her next showcase of upcycled formal wear brought retro nostalgia sprinkled with modern trends, where velvet met roses in a brilliant dance of colors.

Finally, Sum One by Summer Edwards blew everyone away with a debut collection that pondered the coming-of-age story with deep undertones. Cue the paper airplanes and boss attitude in a narrative style like never before! Edwards opens up about identity and playfulness shaping her creations.
