✨ Day 3 — My Favorite Fashion Moments: Louisiana, Mississippi & New York
As a designer, there are certain moments that stay with you forever — moments that remind you why you started, why you kept going, and why purpose will always make room for you. My journey has blessed me with opportunities I never imagined when I first sat at a sewing machine watching YouTube videos.
Here are the three fashion show moments that shaped me the most:
1️⃣ Louisiana — My First Show & The Green Twin Models
Louisiana will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s where I experienced my first major fashion show. I had the opportunity to dress the hostesses — the beautiful Green Twin Models. They didn’t just wear my collection; they embraced it. Their confidence, energy, and support made me feel like I belonged on that stage.
They loved my work, and their reactions gave me the push I needed to keep evolving as a designer. Louisiana was the beginning of me truly believing in my gift.
2️⃣ Mississippi — The Tabitha Brown Moment.My second unforgettable moment happened in Mississippi. I didn’t know that Tabitha Brown, the actress, model, and vegan influencer, was in the audience that day. She saw my collection, loved it, and asked me to create a dress for her.
That dress ended up being worn on The Shark Tank, and when I saw her in something I created with my own hands, it felt like confirmation from God, my ancestors, and the universe that I was walking in alignment.
That moment showed me that you never know who’s watching your journey — but the right people always show up at the right time.
3️⃣ New York Fashion Week — My First Time on the Big Stage
New York Fashion Week was a dream I didn’t even realize I had until I was standing in it. Not one show, but three back-to-back shows — each one shaping me in a different way.
People were walking up to me after each runway, telling me how much they loved my boldness, my creativity, and the uniqueness of every look in my collection.
Hearing “I’ve never seen anything like this” and “Your work is so fearless” in New York — the fashion capital — was a moment that will stay with me forever.
NYFW taught me that Guru Designs doesn’t just belong in the room… it stands out in the room.
✨ These Three Moments Confirmed My Calling
Louisiana gave me courage.
Mississippi gave me affirmation.
New York gave me elevation.
Together, they shaped the designer I am today — bold, intentional, aligned, and ready for everything that’s still ahead.
