Help American Designer bring her Dream to Paris Fashion Week

Donation protected
Hello my dear friends and family
I’ve had the incredible honor of showcasing my PELLONE Collection at Fashion Week across the U.S.—a journey filled with passion, persistence, and purpose. Today, I’m reaching out to you not just as a designer, but as a dreamer. For the past two years, I’ve received the coveted invitation to showcase my work at Paris Fashion Week—the pinnacle of global fashion. This October 2025, I have once again been officially invited, and this time, I’m determined to make it happen. But I can’t do it without your help.
Paris Fashion Week is more than a runway—it’s the world’s stage. It’s where the industry’s most influential eyes discover new voices in design, and where emerging brands can be catapulted to global recognition. As an independent designer and brand made in the U.S., producing a full collection, handling logistics, and covering the costs of international travel and presentation is a massive undertaking. With high production value for the show itself, the show fee is high for an Independent brand like myself but not impossible with your support.

100% of the funding will go directly toward the show production which include the venue, the models, and everything to produce the show itself.

I’ve poured my heart into this brand and my craft, building a label that represents strength, individuality, and elevated design. As a female entrepreneur and self funded business founded in 2017 being able to present in Paris would not only be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream—it would be a turning point for everything I’ve worked for.

If you believe in independent fashion, in bold voices, and in dreams that refuse to fade, I invite you to be part of this journey. Your support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this campaign—means the world.

Let’s bring this dream to Paris, together.

With love and gratitude
