✨ LUMIÈRE — THE LIGHT WITHIN US ✨
To every beautiful model who walked for VAIDA — thank you. 🤍
Thank you for your dedication, your professionalism, your time, your energy, and the heart you brought to the runway. Each and every one of you helped transform a vision into a moment — and a collection into a story.
A runway show is never created by one person. Behind every look, every step and every few minutes of magic on stage are countless hands, hours, emotions and people working together.
To our incredible backstage team — thank you for making the impossible look effortless. For dressing, organizing, steaming, fixing, supporting, encouraging and keeping everything moving behind the curtain.
A very special thank you to Rita RITA VERMEERSCH for going above and beyond, and to the wonderful Runway7 backstage team for your professionalism, patience and support. You were an important part of bringing this show to life. ❤️
But LUMIÈRE was created to mean something beyond fashion.
Lumière means light.
The light within each of us.
The light we give to another person.
The light that can travel further than we will ever know.
Because when one light ignites another, and another, and another… one light can become thousands, millions — even billions.
Imagine what humanity could look like if we each chose to carry a little more light into the world.
Through kindness.
Through courage.
Through creativity.
Through compassion.
Through simply showing up for one another.
Don’t wait for the world to become brighter.
BE THE LIGHT. ✨
If this message speaks to you, share it and pass the light forward. Tag someone whose light deserves to be seen. 🤍
