We caught up with designer @hylagolden behind the sustainable fashion brand @h.y.l.a_ for her post runway show impressions and to share a few of her memorable moments backstage. “There has definitely been a before and after since FAT. Not only has my brand achieved a new level of recognition and respect, I have also gained so much confidence in my craft and in my skills that it has made me feel like if I can pull that off I can do anything. We went from a little online brand selling cute 1/1 tops to people recognizing my designs on the street and random people sending me pictures of other random people wearing my stuff. It’s quite surreal. My favourite part was definitely the energy backstage and the incredible team effort it takes to put on a show. Watching the show after made it that much more special knowing how hard everyone worked and how much love and passion goes into the event. “ - Hyla Golden @h.y.l.a_ Photos @torijharding
