POSTS STORIES REELS

A little time away gave me room to reset, get grounded, and reconnect with my creativity. I’m heading back to the Big Apple with a clearer perspective and a lot of lessons from the journey.

House of Aria is growing with intention—one thoughtful step at a time. Grateful for the pause, ready for what’s next. 🖤 by @houseofaria_444

Consider this my official change of address: New York City. 🗽

New city. Bigger vision. Same purpose—now moving at New York speed. This next chapter is officially in motion. 🚇✨

New York is in motion—and so are we.

Today, House of Aria is connecting across SoHo, Nolita, Queens, Meatpacking and Midtown. I’m looking forward to meeting fellow creatives, designers and industry professionals, supporting their work and building meaningful relationships throughout NYFW.

Every room is an opportunity to listen, learn and move with purpose.

A meaningful moment with Claire at the Break Free Runway Show during New York Fashion Week. ✨

So much work, heart, resilience, and purpose went into bringing this night together, and I’m grateful to stand beside people who believe fashion can be more than an image — it can be a platform for recovery, second chances, and real impact.

Proud of what was created, proud of everyone who showed up for the mission, and grateful for the lessons, growth, and alignment that continue to shape what comes next.

This is only the beginning. 🤍

A glimpse from the runway. ✨

Tonight, fashion became a platform for something bigger — resilience, recovery, creativity, and second chances.

Proud to support the Break Free Runway Show during New York Fashion Week and everyone who brought this moment to life, from the models and designers to the production team and advocates behind the mission.

More than a runway. A story of transformation in motion.

This is a pivotal moment in the House of Aria journey.

What you’re seeing is more than events, meetings, runways and behind-the-scenes moments—it’s the process of building, learning, evolving and listening. I’m deeply grateful to every mentor, industry executive, creative, collaborator, friend and supporter who has helped shape this chapter, whether you’ve been here from the beginning or became part of the journey along the way.

Today, during New York Fashion Week, I’m honored to support the Break Free runway and the incredibly talented individuals bringing its purpose to life.

Building something meaningful requires humility—the willingness to learn from mistakes, accept guidance from people who have walked the road before you, and keep raising the standard.

I believe God places the right people, lessons and opportunities in our path at the right time. Alignment doesn’t always look perfect while it’s happening, but every chapter teaches you something about the one you’re meant to build next.

Faith. Alignment. Protection. Purpose.

Thank you to everyone who has helped House of Aria reach this point. The foundation is being built, the vision is becoming clearer, and this chapter is only beginning.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK | SEPTEMBER 10

Fashion can create attention. Purpose can turn that attention into impact.

This NYFW, House of Aria is proud to support Break Free and assist with the people, partnerships, and creative collaboration surrounding a runway dedicated to something bigger than fashion.

Break Free is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating space for conversations around mental health, addiction, eating disorders, recovery, and the challenges affecting our fashion community.

On September 10, designers and creatives come together in New York to prove that a runway can represent more than a collection—it can represent resilience, community, and the freedom to begin again.

Featuring Eesha Patel, Tracy Toulouse, Mohikas, Ren Haixi, and No Sesso.

📍 The Mezzanine | 55 Broadway, NYC
🗓 September 10, 2026
Doors 6:30 PM | Runway 7:00 PM

This is just the beginning—but the vision is there. Now, disciplined action will bring it to life.

A Clearer Chapter: Accountability, Purpose & Action

I am not sharing my story to seek sympathy. I have faced it, healed from it and emerged as a stronger, more grounded man.

I acknowledge the mistakes I have made—particularly in communication, financial planning and commitments. Those experiences taught me the importance of professional boundaries, accountability and disciplined execution. Moving forward, every commitment will require written agreements, confirmed resources and realistic timelines.

House of Aria exists to build sustainable careers around talent, lived experience and authentic purpose. Through fashion, media and creativity, we aim to connect people with causes that genuinely reflect their stories.

After undergoing 28 orthopedic surgeries, I believe God revealed my purpose: helping children access advanced care their families may not be able to afford. That mission belongs to Beyond the Brace, which operates with board and advisory oversight. No charitable funds have been used for personal expenses, outstanding obligations or House of Aria’s commercial operations.

I am not asking anyone to overlook the past or trust words alone. I intend to earn confidence through integrity, disciplined action and consistent follow-through.

The vision is clear: transform what we have survived into strength—and use that strength to create opportunities and help others.

Some moments are bigger than fashion. They are about purpose, remembrance, and the lives we still have the power to change.

I carry the memory of Collin Duquet with me every day. Collin was an extraordinary and deeply inspiring man whose life left a permanent mark on mine. Losing him to an overdose was truly heartbreaking, and his absence continues to remind me why compassion, access to care, and meaningful action matter.

That is why the mission of Break Free means so much to me. Helping people access mental-health and addiction support—especially those who may not have the resources to seek it themselves—is not simply an important cause. It is lifesaving work.

As I enter a more focused professional chapter, my priority is supporting the mission, honoring the people who brought us here, and contributing behind the scenes with intention. This moment is not about any one artist or professional relationship; it is about recovery, dignity, second chances, and a community choosing hope.

I look forward to gathering on September 10 at 6:30 PM for an evening rooted in fashion, resilience, and purpose.

For Collin—and for every person still fighting to find their way forward. Your story is not over. 🤍God bless everyone.

Resilience has many faces—and behind each one is a story the world may never fully see

At only 16 years old, Allie faced a battle no teenager should ever have to confront: cancer. That photograph captures her in the middle of that fight—still smiling even as her world was being turned upside down.

Cancer did not define her future. Allie survived, rebuilt her life and became the extraordinary force she is today.

My journey has looked different. I have spent my life living with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses and have undergone 28 surgeries. But Allie and I share an understanding of hospital rooms, physical pain, uncertainty, recovery and the conscious decision to keep moving forward.

We do not have to explain resilience to one another—we have lived it.

That deep, unspoken understanding is the foundation of our friendship, and it is also why we work so well together in business. Allie brings a survivor’s determination, focus, loyalty and emotional intelligence into every room. We trust each other, challenge each other and share a vision for turning what we have endured into something meaningful.

Through House of Aria, we are transforming survival into purpose—building meaningful partnerships, creating opportunities and reminding others that the most difficult chapter of your life does not have to become the end of your story.

Two different journeys. One powerful friendship. One shared vision.

This New York skyline represents more than a moment—it represents everything it took to get here.

Behind this video are 28 surgeries, extraordinary sacrifices, difficult lessons, and a journey that has shaped who I am today. I have made mistakes along the way, and I sincerely apologize to anyone affected by them. Growth is not always linear, but I am proud of the person I am becoming and committed to moving forward with greater clarity, humility, and purpose.

To everyone around the world—and here in New York—who has helped me heal, grow, and better understand myself: thank you.

Now, House of Aria is bringing its talent to New York Fashion Week. On September 10 at 6:00 PM, House of Aria Talent Agency LLC will join forces with Break Free Runway for an evening where fashion, music, recovery, and purpose come together.

I am honored to formally partner with the Break Free Foundation and support its mission of providing scholarships and resources for addiction recovery and mental health—a powerful vision brought to life through the dedication of Claire Comai.

Although Beyond the Brace Children’s Foundation is not an official partner of this particular showcase, the life-changing orthopedic care we champion alongside Dr. Dror Paley and the Paley Institute will always remain at the heart of my greater purpose.

My deepest gratitude goes to Claire and to every stylist, designer, artist, musician, model, makeup artist, photographer, and industry professional who has shared their talent, belief, and support throughout this journey.

To the visionary brands and potential partners I have recently connected with: the momentum surrounding September 10 is real, and the door is open. Check your inbox, join the movement, and let’s create something meaningful together.

God has a plan. The signs are clear: 1212 • 777 • 444 • 222.

My purpose is clear—and this is only the beginning.
