Do creatives ever imagine what it would feel like to see their work on the runway?
To watch something that started as an idea, a sketch, a piece of fabric, or a thought in your head finally make its way into the spotlight?
Friday, September 25 was not just another day. It was an evening where fashion, creativity and style came together at An American in Paris at Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square.
For a designer, there is something special about seeing your work leave the studio and take on a life of its own. The pieces are no longer hanging on a rack or waiting for their final fitting. They are moving, being seen, and being experienced in a completely different way.
We were glad to see YELÉSTITCHES take its place on the runway, with each look bringing its own character as the models made their way down the runway.
A reminder that every piece begins somewhere, and sometimes, the journey takes it all the way to the spotlight.
Here’s a look back at YELÉ at An American in Paris. ✨

There are mornings when you want to look good, but you don’t want getting dressed to become a whole project.
The best outfits are the ones that make you feel put together without making you work too hard for it.
Something you can throw on, add your shoes and bag, and just go.
Because getting dressed should feel good, not stressful.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
Have you ever loved the fabric, saved the picture, and then seen the finished outfit and thought… “Hmm, I don’t know”? 😂
It happens.
Sometimes you really do love the print. You just don’t love the way it was turned into a dress, skirt, top, or whatever you had in mind.
The shape, where the print sits, and the little details can change the whole feel of an outfit.
So tell us, what makes you look at an outfit and say, “Yes, this is it”?
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭.
You put it on, look in the mirror, and suddenly the rest of the outfit becomes easy.
No overthinking the accessories.
No trying to figure out what else it needs.
The print has the presence.
The wrap silhouette gives it shape.
And suddenly, you don’t need much else.

Have you ever needed an outfit for an event and thought, “I’ll just find something when I get there”?
That was the plan for this client.
She was looking for a green dress to wear to a wedding that Friday, so she reached out to YELÉ and came into the store the next morning to see what she could find.
Except… there was no green dress waiting for her.
There was green fabric, though. 😂
So YELÉ got to work.
By the next morning, there was a brand-new green dress waiting for her. One she never even asked us to make.
And when she saw it, her expression was:
“Oh my God, it’s so beautiful. You have an exact green dress that I need.”
Safe to say, we were just as happy that it worked out. 🤭
Would we recommend putting a dress together under this kind of time pressure? Absolutely not. 😂 It’s not great practice, and we’d always prefer to give a piece the time and attention it deserves.
❤️
Not everything we wear is simply about how it looks.
Some pieces carry a feeling. A belief. A reminder of something that matters to us.
The Power of Love print was created with that in mind. Bringing together symbols of love and protection in a design that has continued to evolve across colours and silhouettes.
From its original hand-drawn and hand-dyed form in Nigeria to the pieces it has become today, the story remains at the heart of it.
Love. Protection. Faith. Woven into something you can wear. ✨
What does love mean to you?

There are days when you want to look like you tried, without actually trying.
You want something comfortable.
Something you can move around in.
Something you can wear without spending 30 minutes standing in front of your wardrobe wondering what goes with what.
But you still want to look good.
That’s where this one comes in.
Easy, effortless and bold enough to make the outfit feel intentional. Wear it with your favourite sandals for a slow day out, dress it up for dinner, or throw it on when you have somewhere to be and absolutely no time to think about what to wear.
And with two very different prints, you get to choose the mood.
Because sometimes, the best outfits are the ones that make getting dressed feel easy.
Which print are you choosing?

At YELÉ, we believe what we wear can hold more than beauty.
It can hold memory.
It can carry meaning.
It can tell a story.
Our designs draw from culture, tradition and the things that have shaped us, bringing them into contemporary forms that feel relevant today.
From the symbols woven into our prints to the hands that bring each piece to life, every detail is considered with intention.
Because for us, fashion isn’t about leaving the past behind.
It’s about carrying something meaningful forward.
A Homage to What Is.
