VYSYN
Brooklyn, NY
As a celebrity designer that bust into this industry in the most unconventional way, Straight Walk Runway invited me to do my first fashion show as a headliner. I was nervous, but I knew that under the direction of Straight Walk Runway the show would be a success. This brand has helped me evolve my thinking and even catapulted me into doing more fashion shows.
