Couture without limits. ✨🔥🐆

At the 6th Annual Columbia Fashion Week Met Gala, Ghetto Couture by Spice McKenzie () turned the runway into a bold cultural statement — where underground influence met unapologetic luxury. From sculptural silhouettes and dramatic textures to sequins, feathers, pearls, and animal print moments, every look challenged the idea of what couture “should” be.

This collection wasn’t just fashion — it was attitude, identity, resilience, and storytelling stitched into every piece. A reminder that couture belongs to everyone brave enough to wear their truth out loud.
