Getting married changed the way I design wedding gowns. Beyond the beauty and aesthetics, I now understand the importance of comfort and ease—because every bride deserves to feel as beautiful as she feels comfortable.

Forever grateful to the entire team for the love and support.

To my soon-to-be brides, let’s collaborate and create magic together!

An great opportunity working along strong stylist. Foundation and structure is everything when working backstage, it was honor to be part of @oribepro team. by @melissa___tello

Runway-ready styles met legendary concert history.

Behind the scenes with the Unite Pro Team at KidSuper. Our team curated the hair for the honeycomb braid, handled male grooming, and created classic, sleek runway looks featuring sharp middle parts. We meticulously executed every element of the designer's vision with precise hair design and structure.

The backstage energy was electric as we raced against the clock.

So incredibly proud to have been part of the magic for The People’s Runway 2nd Time! 🖤 From watching the brilliant up-and-coming designers of the Class of 2026 showcase their visions to prepping the team backstage, the creativity was unmatched. Major shoutout to Colm Dillane and everyone who made this official NYFW possible. 🤯 A massive shoutout to @kidsuper and the @unite_hairpro team for keeping the vibes and the looks flawless. Total standing ovation for the designers who made it happen: @quine_li_ @reyjaiteh , @by_laurelblue , @igbosisun , and @reyes_roderick . History was made! 🚀✨ by @melissa___tello

The KidSuper (@kidsuper) “people’s runway” spring 2026 show at NYFW was epic in all ways. Five designers — Kuai Li, Lamin Rey Jaiteh, Laurel Tiange Fang, Moses Aina, Roderick Reyes — five designs each, plus some KidSuper in the mix. And then the reunited Fugees?! A lot.
