THIS IS AMERICA

FASHION SHOW

In 2017, I served as the Creative Director for Muse Clothing, a boutique based in Columbia, MO. I proposed producing a fashion show with a bold mission:
To celebrate diversity and inclusivity across race, gender, culture, and sexual orientation in the fashion industry.

With no budget and full creative control, I conceptualized, produced, and event-planned the #ThisIsAmerica Fashion Show from the ground up.

What I accomplished:

  • Directed and executed the entire production with $0 in expenses

  • Managed a team of 4 leads, 10 volunteers, and 20 models

  • Filled the venue to capacity with no paid advertising

  • Directed, wrote the script and appeared in #ThisIsAmerica fashion show commercial to place brand awareness of the fashion show on social media.

  • Collaborated with Long Live Entertainment to capture the show on video

  • Commercial filmed by Joshua Moffett, Edited by Nick Wilson.

This grassroots production was not only a success—it was a statement. I proved that with vision, leadership, and community, you can create something impactful without financial backing.
