Gold in the Water is a celebration of color, spirit, and iden-

tity. Inspired by my love of glitz, glam, and bold expression,

this collection centers the beauty of being plus-size, Black,

and queer. Too often, we’re left out of fashion—I’m here to

say we belong, we shine, and we deserve to be seen.

​

The collection draws from my spiritual practice, especially

the Orishas Oshun and Yemaya—water deities connected

to gold, love, and power. Their energy flows through each

look, bringing richness and depth.

​

With vibrant colors and flowing silhouettes, Gold in the

Water brings all of me to the runway—my queerness, my

spirituality, my roots, and my joy.
