In Bloom presents: a mirror and a bridge

₊✩₊A Patchwork of the Natural & Material Worlds₊✩₊

This immersive fashion experience explores the evolving interdependence between humanity and nature. Blending organic elements with crafted design, a mirror and a bridge invites reflection on the creative threads that connect us—to the earth, to each other, and to the spaces we shape.

At its heart, this show embodies the spirit of our collective: artists acting as both a mirror reflecting the world we live in, and a bridge to the one we're co-creating. Our models become vessels and storytellers, carrying the essence of each look and narrating the journey between reflection and transformation through movement, presence, and style.

Join us for an evening of joy, play, beauty, and belonging.
