Israel Gayden-Pitts
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.
