Grace in Motion at NYFW Season 1

ATHENA CROSBY

Beauty With Purpose at NYFW Season 1

When Athenna Crosby stepped onto the NYFW runway in a Carl Andrada creation, she wasn’t just representing fashion—she was representing a mission. As the reigning Miss World America 2024, Athenna brought elegance, intention, and advocacy to the spotlight, embodying the very essence of “beauty with a purpose.”

Born in San Jose, California, to a Venezuelan-American family, Athenna’s multicultural roots have shaped her journey as a model, actress, and TV host. With a degree in Communications and a background in entertainment journalism, she’s no stranger to the camera—but it’s her heart for service that sets her apart.

Elegance in motion, authenticity at heart

At NYFW Season 1, Athenna made her debut in a stunning piece by Filipino designer Carl Andrada, whose work celebrates sustainability and cultural heritage. Draped in a silhouette that fused modern glamour with traditional craftsmanship, Athenna walked with quiet confidence and unmistakable grace.

“New York Fashion Week was surreal,” she shared. “To walk for designers like Carl Andrada while representing Miss World America—it was a full-circle moment. I felt proud, grounded, and grateful.

 

Designer Carl Andrada echoed the sentiment:
“Athenna brings depth to the runway. She doesn’t just model the gown—she gives it meaning. Her presence is powerful, and her advocacy shines through.”

    This isn't just Fashion, it's a future made in fabric.

    Breea Yamat:

    The Crown, the Calling, and the Cultural Fire Within

    In a world where beauty pageants are often reduced to glitter and gowns, Breea Yamat redefines the narrative. The reigning Miss Hawaii USA 2024 is more than a titleholder—she is a storyteller, a healer in training, and a proud daughter of Mexican and Filipina heritage, carrying the spirit of Lahaina with every step she takes.

    At 27, Breea’s journey to the national stage was not one of overnight acclaim but of quiet resilience. After years of competing, she claimed her crown at the Royal Hawaii Center Theater, becoming a beacon of multicultural pride and purpose. Her now-iconic phrase—“Mexican spice mixed with Filipina fire”—isn’t just a catchy caption; it’s a declaration of identity in a world that too often asks women to dilute their roots.

Her now-iconic phrase—“Mexican spice mixed with Filipina fire”—isn’t just a catchy caption; it’s a declaration of identity in a world that too often asks women to dilute their roots.

    But Breea’s brilliance extends far beyond the pageant stage. A medical assistant with a degree in biology, she is pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant, with dreams of opening a community health clinic in her hometown. Her advocacy is deeply personal—shaped by the Lahaina wildfires and the systemic gaps in healthcare access for under-resourced communities. Whether she’s leading student workshops on goal-setting or delivering care packages to displaced families, Breea’s reign has been defined by service, not spectacle.

    Her performance at Miss USA 2024—where she placed in the Top 10—was a masterclass in grace under pressure. From her beaded purple evening gown to her poised interview responses, she embodied the aloha spirit with a modern edge. “Every challenge and triumph has led me to this moment,” she shared on social media, “and I’m proud to wear Hawaii on my chest and in my heart.”

    As she transitions from queen to mentor, Breea is already shaping the next generation of changemakers. Her story is not just about crowns and cameras—it’s about cultural pride, community healing, and the quiet power of showing up fully as yourself.

    In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion, media, and representation, Breea Yamat is not just a face to watch—she’s a force to follow.
