Scene: Sermon Series’ “Spirit, Soul, Body” Presentation. Santanna “Saint” Hayes co-created the men’s fashion brand with designer DeKylen Tormier. The 14 look collection drew inspiration from the purity of the human ‘Spirit’ represented by foundational cream colors. The complex and diverse nature of the human ‘Soul’ was represented by varying patterns, textures, colors, and silhouettes. The ‘Body’ was represented through the sustainable and eco-conscious elements and processes used in the majority of their pieces. Sermon Series, a sustainable, luxury men’s brand, is a fusion of spiritual truths and the boundless canvas of fashion. The designers channel a connection to what keeps us grounded. Divine inspiration meets contemporary fashion.

Scene: Of Nothing Presentation. The Brooklyn based clothing brand made by designer Jack Fullerton is designed and produced in house. The brand features a consistent selection of unstructured work jackets, drapey shirts, with comfortable pants. Minimal clothing of maximum quality. Some items are ready to ship while others are made to order. Of Nothing is a continuation of Jacks “meditative and contemplative practices, extending that space through designing, developing, cutting, sewing, and presenting clothes. It precipitates from clouds of ideas from a wide range of fields, paired with the recognition of a missing center. The name is in part a reference to this practice, and it is a half truth. When something is made of nothing, it is of everything.”

Scene: Tarpley’s “Aura” Presentation.

The founder and designer, expresses his “buddhist tech minimalism” point of view through garments noted by razor sharp cuts, creating minimal but extremely elegant silhouettes in high-tech fabrics with luxury quality craftsmanship. Every garment, accessory, and experience starts with how they can create something positive for the earth with the lowest impact. The emphasis is on material, high end production, and timeless design. They aim to create clothing that can live within your life forever.

Scene: Terry Singh’s Presentation. New York City designer Terry Singh is reshaping how the world views masculinity. His trip to India was so life changing that it inspired him to recreate this liberated feeling through a skirt inspired by the dhoti. “This collection is not just about clothes, but about breaking free from repetition and embracing a new chapter of creativity and connection.” Terry said.
Spectators watched as the dancers performed in Singh’s tailored skirts paired with classic basketball jerseys of his favorite teams. Step by step the dancers presented the clothing with flourish and twirl, as the skirts rotated with movement showing the details of the tailoring.
