👑 CROWNED THROUGH GENERATIONS: Honoring Our Heritage. Celebrating Our Evolution.
This year’s runway will explore the evolution of braiding artistry… from ancestral artistry to modern expression hairstyles that carried stories of IDENTITY, STATUS, and COMMUNITY to today’s most celebrated braiding styles. To bring this vision to life, we’re partnering with some of the DMV’s most talented braiders, pairing each hairstyle with fashion that complements its story. Together, the garments and braids will become one complete work of art.
We’re looking for fashion designers who can create pieces inspired by this journey—designs that honor tradition while embracing innovation, individuality, and the creativity of today. If your work celebrates culture, craftsmanship, storytelling, or bold contemporary design, we’d love to see your vision on our runway.

Crowned Through Generations.
