On October 10, we brought the "MAKE WAVES NOT RULES" runway to TikTok Fashion Fest in Long Island City, New York.

"MAKE WAVES NOT RULES" opens with a quiet but decisive gesture: removing the control tape that marks the runway. That simple act becomes the transition from boundary to possibility, setting the tone for a presentation shaped by motion, reinterpretation, and youth clarity. The show unfolds like a narrative where each look reveals another layer of reconstruction.

Silhouettes emerge from thoughtful disruption—seams shifting their routes, proportions resetting, and lines tracing the body’s natural rhythm. Fabric combinations bring depth and contrast: denim tempered by satin, mesh cutting through twill, ripstop meeting soft layering. Offset zippers, raw edges, and tape-stitch create visible intention; hidden ties adjust volume with controlled precision. Deconstructed print suits and spliced shirts carry the story forward through moving motifs and intersecting materials.

The runway brings digital instinct into physical form. What begins as online expression becomes a lived moment—immediate, bold, and unmistakably youth-driven. When the final look exits, the energy settles into the booth, where community gathers, conversations deepen, and the wave continues its course beyond the show.
