Pushing Creative Boundaries
We spent five-hour sessions together, pushing through exhaustion and heat, just to perfect our work. The best part? The friendships we built, the way we supported each other, and the laughter that kept us sane.
The Camaraderie Kept Us Going
Yelé’s class taught me that perfection isn’t everything. I used to overthink every detail, erasing and redoing my work constantly, but I learned to trust the process. The environment was intense yet supportive, and every session was a mix of hard work and laughter.
Learning Beyond Perfection
For me, this collection was about honoring my culture. Every stitch, every fabric choice had meaning. Runway Revolution helped me bring my vision to life.

My collection was inspired by an upside-down wine glass. The structure was unconventional, and it was a challenge to execute, but I learned so much about working with different shapes and textiles.
