STIGMATA: Heavenly Bodies FW2025
-
-...inspired by one of the rarest phenomena in Catholic culture dating back to the 1600s. Stigmata: Heavenly Bodies will narrate the story of the manifestation of the wounds [*] of the passion of Christ.

[*] The five sacred wounds that were inflicted on Jesus during his crucifixion were wrists and feet (caused by nails), wounds on his torso (made from a lance/spear), forehead (caused by the crown of thorns), and wounds to the back (caused by scourging).

….3 weeks later, after my SUR•RE•AL•ISM collection debuted, I got an email with my three invitations to NYFW. I kindly decline my last two invitations as I had so much going on. —This time around, I figure what the hell? I'm going blind. I might as well jump on the train and see what the fuss is all about. —This morning, I had a virtual meeting with the lovely Christina and team. Who I’ve spoken to in the past to go over the in-depth details of the contracts for NYFW. I am mind-blown by the price tag to show, and this does not include the model fees. —They have financial assistance and grants to help cover the cost for new designers, but I missed the deadlines. I guess it is good to know. Moving foward I’m starting an ONLY FANS or become a LADY OF THE NIGHT!

But all jokes aside, I am grateful and blessed I've made it this far and continue to share my creativity and talent that were passed on to my great-grandmother!

I’ve said it once, and I will say it again. A design can only be completed with the unique personality of the model. A design on a dress form is just fabric. The best part is seeing my work come to life when the model puts it on a fitting day. I can’t THANK them enough for all the hard work!

“I AM AN ARTIST, NOT A FASHION DESIGNER.”

This is my favorite of all the images provided by one of the photographers from KCFW.

Fun fact: I, H.A.T.E., being in the spotlight of things, especially walking down the runway, —is annoying, overrated, and awkward AF. But this image captures the in me who can assemble a 12-piece collection within a month before the deadline. The who procrastinates and sacrifices his eyesight and eye health to tell his story and journey of losing sight through his designs. The Fashion that loses his s**t just thinking his are taken away from him. Yet, he keeps alive and prays that modern medicine and science find answers for him. This is the aftermath of SUR•RE•AL•ISM
