Guilford Local Participates In New York Fashion Week

GUILFORD, CT – A local 10-year-old Guilford resident walked the runway for several fashion designers during New York Fashion Week.

On Sept. 8, Katerina Cejas arrived at Grand Central Station, where she went directly to her first photoshoot of the weekend.

Cejas was featured on several Times Square billboards, including the Coca-Cola Times Square Billboard.

“New York Fashion Week was really fun,” Cejas stated. “I loved seeing myself in New York City billboards at night with all the lights.”

The backdrop of her first photoshoot was Times Square, then to Studio Arte for “The Pink Show,” where she wore a transformation dress by designer Archie Brown.

On Sept. 9, Cejas walked in three shows in different venues, one for HiTech Moda, held at Gotham Hall, where she wore customized couture garments by Archie Brown Designs, a designer from Utah and Caroline Couture, a designer from Puerto Rico. She also walked for The Bureau Fashion Week, held at The Conrad, where she represented Christina Week’s Hemistry Designs, a line for a good cause called “Paws For A Cause.”

On Sept. 10, Cejas finished her fashion adventure by walking again at The Bureau Fashion Week, where she appeared from Texas designer Mila Hoffman and Willow Bean Studio from Pennsylvania.

Even though New York Fashion Week has finished, Cejas is still working hard. She will be going to Texas in October, where she will be walking for Mila Hoffman and Willow Bean Studio. In January 2024, she will attend a grand event in India with MDC Globe International and Maison de Couture, representing Little Miss USA-North.
