NICHOLAS MADRUGA
From deep inside, there is energy inside that drives us creatives to learn and grow. The darkest times may lead to a new light. Reaching into earth tones and shape experimentation, the light channels through. An ode to Damian Kristopher Leal.
None of this would be possible without Rey, my peers, The 333 Team, Mama Madruga, Steven, and The Madruga family for believing in me.

TOMBELLI
The Gift of Love over Time.
Experience "I, Finite," a frame narrative collection that guides you on my transformative journey from girlhood to womanhood. Witness the powerful cultural influences of my Lebanese and Italian heritage, the impact on my family, and my history across time. A sensory-driven exhibition that brings to life the sounds, smells, and sights of my personal evolution. Come, be captivated by my story and immerse yourself in this life-changing experience. In memory of my beloved Nonna.
To the bonds of Sisterhood, my closest friends and supporters, and of course, to Rey. Love, Light and Conscience, Sarah Tombelli

ANDREAS CABALLERO
Encounter the rhythms of Mexican agriculture with harmonious experimentation of structural fashion, this collection dares to blur the lines between utility and artistry. Each of the five looks features garments that flow seamlessly into woven baskets, capturing the essence of a culture that cherishes both rhythm and beauty.
Best Wishes, Andreas Caballero

VERONICA WARDOWSKI
Explore the appeal and comfort of the digital realm, while examining the impact of this rising isolation on our daily lives. Classic silhouettes are animated and extended featuring alluring colors that break through somber exterior garments, emphasizing our shift in comfort as people turn to their devices for entertainment and stimulation rather than physical interaction.
I would like to express my gratitude to Rey, David, Ryan, Andreas, Caden, my mother Michelle, my father Peter, and my brother Edgar for their unwavering support throughout this process. All my love Veronica

DAVID RODRIGUEZ
Follow the Llanero and indigenous Warao peoples of Venezuela through a transformative journey from land to sea by combining industrial detailing, performance materiality with the voluminous proportions, and styling from the ostentatious nightclub scene of the New Romantics.
This would not be possible without: Rey, Ryan, Veronica, my mom Yelena, and my sister Yadi Love to you all xoxo
