I’m thrilled to be kicking off our first Designer Talks at Idyllwild Arts and Fashion with the Ready-to-wear label – Victoria Hayes.
I first met Victoria at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC in 2020. Our Labels/Brand was chosen as the top emerging brands amongst other top fashion designers in New York City and worldwide. The Design Entrepreneur Program provided designers with business-building education, mentorship, and community.
During our classes, I was immediately drawn to victoria’s style. There was something uniquely different about her vibe – it was fiercely empowering. Through time, we became friends, and I had the splendid opportunity to wear a few of her couture pieces from her latest collection during my visit to her Manhattan showroom.
Today, I’m thrilled to be introducing Victoria to My fashion Design Students at Idyllwild Arts & Fashion to Kick off NYFW.
Victoria Hayes officially launched her eponymous label in 2016. Since then, she has garnered the attention of big celebrity names and has had the pleasure of dressing stars like Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, and even Madonna for high-profile events and red carpets. Victoria Hayes’s line is made for women who want to be seen and turn heads with their unapologetic fashion choices. She believes in the entertainment value of clothing and the entertainment value inherent in dressing and curating one’s style. The line is focused on luxury fabrications, embellishments, colorful prints, and striking silhouettes, all crafted to Victoria’s vision at her New York City Atelier.
