Rise NFW2023 x HRMNYC Runway Event

First and foremost, this project is about community. In a field where innovation counts immeasurably, our mission was to create a kind of gender fluid hangout for the socially conscious disruptor, where we could liberate art, fashion, and luxury culture, hosting events and making collections that resonate emotionally. Over the last year HRM has expanded its online shopping destination hrmstyle.com, hosted two pop-up shops and occupied an entire menswear boutique in Jersey City,  Gallery23NY in the meat packing district will be showcasing  some of HRM special pieces appealing to a diverse audience informed by our digital-first strategy. After a year of steady growth, recognition, and meaningful time spent building relationships with a distinct clientele, HRM would now like to embrace tradition and present its work to industry leadership, cultural pioneers, retail buyers, and the press.

The goal is gigantic buzz. RISE New York Fashion Week 2023 intends to include Hector to its runway to present his artistic ideas and influence taste during New York Fashion Week, transporting the street culture and aesthetic of New York City with a luxury twist. The event will showcase 20 of HRM's latest creations.

This GoFundMe campaign is an appeal to our friends, followers, clients, and colleagues to join HRM in its ambition, pledge your support and donate to this exciting endeavor.

ABOUT HRM

Based in New York City, HRM uses reclaimed garments and scrapwork to create artful, hand-crafted designs for men and women. Hector gathers his materials for each collection from a range of unique sources, maintaining an eye on the silhouette while placing an emphasis on quality fabric rich with its own past. Soft cottons, suede and leather are typical hallmarks of HRM style.

The final selection of garments then undergoes a series of treatments that equally distress and enrich the fabric, transforming the texture into one-of-a-kind custom made canvases. No two garments across HRM's Úni and limited edition ready-to-wear collections are exactly alike and nearly all of this process is done by hand.

Each piece writes its own story through lines and colors, creating sensational narratives expressed boldly using ink, ice and tye dying techniques, acrylics, spray paint, vinyl, applique, embroidery, and always featuring HRM’s beloved crown logo, signature, and monogram.

ABOUT HECTOR R. MIRANDA

Designer Hector R. Miranda is a style expert for the modern tastemaker, offering signature statement pieces, custom clothing and accessories for men and women.

Hector Ramon Miranda was raised in New Jersey, making the streets and nightlife of New York City his eternal playground. From the age of 17, he gravitated toward places where high and low fashion and society intermingled to the sound of world rhythmns. Heaven and the Roxy were like second homes. The influence of American pop art, grafitti art, body art, Gen X and club kid culture continues to inform his work. So does wordplay, as HRM also stands for His/Her Royal Majesty, a nod to the brand’s gender fluidity.

Hector has always looked for unexpected ways to push creative boundaries. Since launching his eponymous label HRM in 2020, he’s shown that original style is best explored piece by piece and without a formula, placing human expression and sustainability at the heart of his work.

Since 2010 Hector has partnered as a ready-to-wear advisor with Gant, Marni, Etro, Moschino, Valentino, and Lanvin. He’s also worked as a co-stylist for Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Drew Barrymore and Cher among others.
