Help Get Young Designer Ina Malama to Fashion Week 2020

  • Fashion Week Update: Covid 19

      1 August 2020

    Thank you for those that donated and have sent me kind messages of support. After working tirelessly for a year preparing for this show we are sad to announce the postponement of our upcoming September 2020 slot at New York Fashion Week. The decision was made several months ago but we didn't announce it yet in case the pandemic took a turn and slowed down. Due to Covid 19 and border closures me and my team at Oxford Fashion Studios decided that the best option was to postpone my runway show till 2021. Despite New York still determined to showcase designers in a restricted manner with social distancing I believe the safety of my not only myself but my models, production crew and workers behind the scenes are vital and I wouldn't want to put them at risk. The risk would be too high and foolish to take and I am confident that the right decision was made by me and my team. The work I have made wont be released until next year's show where it will finally debut to the world. In the meantime I am working full time on my buisness (@i.n.a_apparel) delivering made to order and custom garments and have a website in the works. Thank you so much. Stay safe and I'll continue to remain positive looking forward to finally showcasing my creative work in 2021

  • Fashion Week Update

      11 June 2020

    Alongside my own savings from work and the generous help of donors, sponsors and trusts I was able to secure my spot and pay half of the overall fee in 2019. I will be paying off the remaining this month in June. Thank you all so much for the support!

    On a side note due to Coronavirus there is a high chance that my show will be postponed till Feb 2021 for safety. I will once again update everyone once this is confirmed! I am still very blown away to be given this opportunity and I cant wait to showcase. Love and blessings
