90It felt like a concert—I’ve never seen a fashion stage this major in my life, and the best part is it happened right here in Brooklyn.
I took this moment to present my collection Soaring High-
Soaring High is a fashion collection that explores the metamorphosis of a Haitian immigrant boy, chronicling his journey through the stages of life within urban Black American society. Each look represents a chapter in his story—capturing the desires, aspirations, and dreams that shape his path from adolescence to adulthood.The collection reveals a powerful transformation: from the Newcomer, to the Street Kid, the School Boy striving for Black excellence, and ultimately, the self-actualized, polished Dandy.
From museums to galleries, this collection has toured like an exhibition — now it returns home to Brooklyn, taking it’s first steps onto the streets.Thank you to all the Art institutions that supported this work along its journey- @mocada_museum @materialsforthearts @youngarts
I hope I made yall proud, this was a true dream come true for me.
Thank you to my Epic team.

A closer look at @daveedbaptiste, the multidisciplinary artist and longtime friend whose debut collection made waves at KidSuper’s People’s Runway for NYFW. In this feature, we catch up on his life, talk about what could be next, and sit with how success can feel both defining and fleeting.

From ICE detention centers to the courtroom, thousands of Haitian immigrants journey toward the ‘promised land’ in pursuit of the American Dream. Soaring High tells these migration stories, each look embodying a step along the way.
