Full circle, in the most meaningful way.
This week in the studio, Nathalie welcomed back a familiar voice from her early days at Fashion Institute of Technology. Nearly 20 years ago, she sat in Professor Uvenio’s classroom, studying the art of special occasion design. This week, he returned with his current students to step inside her world.
Moments like this hold a different kind of weight. The sketches, the fittings, the long hours learning the craft… they stay with you. To now share that process with the next generation, in a space built from those very foundations, feels both grounding and expansive.
There’s something powerful about seeing where it all began and where it can go.
To Professor Uvenio and his students, thank you for stepping into the studio. It’s always an honor to be part of the journey.
