This has been such a surreal moment to have the fabulous @therealruthecarter select and wear one of my designs at the Costumer Designers Guild Award.

This has been such an incredible opportunity and honor to be able to design a dress for Ms. Ruth but also get to work with her as well on this unforgettable project. I am entirely grateful and will never forget these beautiful moments. Thank you so much Ms. Ruth for this incredible opportunity!

Thank you so much to @pensolelewis @manekmonday @dionwalcott and @jp___howard for all your support, help and guidance during these momentous events!✨🤍🥂

New Episode 🎙️

Dionne Edwards once dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina. When illness made that path impossible, she didn’t stop being creative—she found a new way forward through fashion design, footwear, and styling.

What stayed with me was Dionne’s willingness to let her dream evolve instead of believing that changing direction meant giving up. Her journey is such a beautiful reminder that sometimes the dream we start with is only the beginning.

Have you ever had to let go of what you thought your future would look like and make room for something new?

You may want to save this for the moment when your own path takes an unexpected turn.

Hear Dionne’s full story on the Fanatical DreamHer podcast.

An Oscars moment for the iconic RUTH E. CARTER✨
Honored to style her for the 98th Academy Awards
@theacademy

A true labor of love 🤍 From sourcing exquisite fabrics in -10° New York City to bringing this vision to life across the country, every detail was curated with the utmost intention and care. Guided by Ruth Carter’s vision and design, this look lives at the intersection of ancestry and Afrofuturism—honoring those who came before while moving boldly into a historic present. Every element was crafted to carry a sense of connection across time, embodying the spirit of “already won” while walking on the Oscars red carpet.
