I had the opportunity and pleasure of working for Fashion Designers of Latin America, (FDLA) founded by executive producer Albania Rosario this season as part of their in house content creation team. I was able to capture images from fitting day to the backstage hustle and bustle of show day. To be surrounded by such an amazing team of creatives and strong women was truly an honor and an experience to remember.

As an immigrant who started school without a word of English myself, Albania’s story is proof that all things are possible with hard work and dedication. Do what you love and the rest will follow.

Thank you Albania and the whole team at FDLA for allowing me to be a part of this year’s production.
