New York Fashion Week is in full swing, and Brooklyn Borough Hall Plaza was transformed into a catwalk on Sept. 14, where five emerging Brooklyn designers showcased their couture at a full-service fashion show in front of a star-studded crowd.

“The People’s Runway,” was the first-of-its-kind collaboration between Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Brooklyn’s first Arts Ambassador Colm Dillane, the creative force behind cultural brand KidSuper.

Earlier this year, Reynoso and Dillane launched an open call for emerging Brooklyn-based designers. After reviewing hundreds of applications, the duo chose Kent Anthony, Shriya Myneni, Rojin Jung, Ahmril Lorraine, and Daveed Baptiste for the opportunity to showcase their collection on a global stage with mentorship from Dillane.
