Ashes to Bloom Black United Body Fashion Show ‘26
Ashes to Bloom was inspired by the devistating impact of wildfires in the region of California. Moments so upsetting, the ashes covered all hope for bloom. Through community, hand-in-hand, lives were rebuilt and the area began to bloom again.
This show marked my first time designing runway for Terzi Evi where I created seven distinct looks that I felt captured the essence of Bloom in its fullest expression. Through design, I translated my brands ethos of regional resources and beauty into a full runway collection
