Atlanta doesn’t wait on fashion. It moves—and the rest of us catch up.
On April 30, THE RISE: Fashion in Bloom — Spring Edition ’26 lands at the Distillery of Modern Art, not as another date on the calendar, but as a signal. A shift. A reminder that this city knows how to translate energy into expression—and make it look effortless.
Produced by Poshe Productions and powered by FACE (Fashion, Art, Culture & Education), the experience is intentional. Not just seen but felt. Not just worn but understood. This is fashion in motion—where narrative meets body, and culture meets cadence.
At the center is Michelle Lynch. And if you know, you know. Her productions don’t just present fashion—they stage it.
There’s discipline in the visuals, rhythm in the pacing, and a clear commitment to community as both audience and participant. Emerging talent stands shoulder to shoulder with established voices. No hierarchy, just alignment.
This season’s designers bring that alignment into focus:
Laura Johnson of Adorn Me Treasures (IG: @adornmetreasures)
Aysegul of Aysegul.ikna (IG: @aysegul.ikna)
Aaliyah Taylor of Exalting in Beauty (IG: @exaltinginbeauty)
Dequincy Atterberry (IG: @dequincy_atterberry)
India of Style Junkiez (IG: @iam_style_junkiez_klozet)
Zayden the Designer (IG: @zaydenthedesigner)
Expect silhouettes that speak before you do. Textures that hold attention. Florals that aren’t soft—they’re intentional. This is not decoration. This is declaration.
Beyond the runway, the room opens up. Live performances. Curated vendors. Conversations that don’t need a stage but still define the night. Add thoughtful bites and a crowd that understands presence, and the atmosphere does what Atlanta does best—connect.
And yes, I’ll be there.
Not just to host, but to read the room in real time. Because moments like this aren’t about spectacle—they’re about signal. What’s shifting. Who’s emerging. Where culture is deciding to go next.
The audience will meet that moment. Media. Tastemakers. Creatives. Those who understand that fashion is never just about clothes—it’s about what they communicate before you ever speak.
So consider this your notice.
Not just to attend—but to arrive with intention.
