Tell us about your show. What was your inspiration for your collection?

“When I was a model, I used to wear the most beautiful gowns, and I loved how they made me feel. I realized how huge the power of clothing is and the transformative quality of dressing up. I dreamt that one day I could create clothing that would help other women feel confident … like queens. Built-in corsets are a big part of my collection. I believe they make all women look very feminine, sexy, and beautiful by helping to create a seductive hourglass silhouette.

“Creating my collection, I was free to select and combine fabrics. I used different materials like silk, chiffon, lace, sequins, tulle, taffeta, organza, feathers, and embroidered appliqués. I wanted to bring a fairytale to the runway, and I trusted my intuition when designing the collection.

“I partnered with the amazing Crown designer Aristo Krowns and two Jewelry designers, Lady Daze Fine Jewelry and Binno Jewels. Our beautiful collaboration turned into magic. I absolutely love each runway look that we created together. The LED Wall Backdrop, designed by talented artist/photographer Jaime Lim brought the audience and models into a Royal and mysterious atmosphere. Jaime was my official photographer for the evening, and his masterful work of photographing the runway took the show to a whole new level.”
