On the runway, each design of Djerf Avenue was presented by models from diverse shapes and sizes under the attempt of the brand to show the fashion industry that “women can be more than one size, one kind of girl.”

“Our first-ever fashion show, a celebration of what fashion means to me and to the Djerf Avenue…I wanted to highlight creativity and versatility, and I wanted everyone watching [the fashion show] to feel like these items are something they would wear in their everyday life,” Matilda wrote on her Instagram post.

The night closed up with a dinner party serving special dishes and drinks which “Djerf Avenue Girls” and Matilda got to jointly enjoy.

Afterwards, filled up with gratitude, Matilda further expressed her thanks to her crew after her achievement.

“Thank you for bringing my vision to life, thank you for being your beautiful, authentic selves. I wish there were words that could express what I’m feeling but there are no words big or meaningful enough.”

Soon, the “Remake Collection” from the New York City runway will be dropped in stock via the brand’s official website. Plus, the “Djerf Avenue Iced Vanilla Latte” will be available across all Bluestone Lane‘s locations throughout this September.
