My journey to New York Fashion Week 2025 starts right at home in Hickory, North Carolina as Unique Custom Threads presents The Style Social. Join me in the elegent surroundings of Warehouse 18 for The Ultimate Fashion Day Out.
From New York To Hickory, And Back Again
After making my New York Fashion Week debut in 2024, I’ve been given a golden opportunity to return this September with not one, but THREE brand-new collections, including a show at the iconic Sony Hall.
As you can probably imagine, producing a runway collection, traveling to New York, and securing a spot at a high-profile venue isn’t exactly inexpensive. And while Unique Custom Threads is growing, I’m still an independent designer building my brand from the ground up, without the kind of backing that big fashion houses rely on.
That’s why I’m hosting The Style Social
This hometown event is both a celebration of fashion and and a way of raising the funds I need to make my return to NYFW a reality.
Whether you buy a ticket, sponsor the show, or simply help spread the word, you’re helping me bring North Carolina creativity to one of the biggest stages in the fashion world.
