🇭🇹 HAITI ON THE RUNWAY: WAINA CHANCY × ATELIER NDIGO
As New York Fashion Week unfolds, House of Bo***ir is turning its lens toward Haitian creatives taking their work to bigger stages, broader audiences and influential fashion platforms.
We begin with Haitian designer Waïna Chancy, co-founder along side Myrline St. Hubert and creative force behind Atelier Ndigo, who presented her Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Harlem’s Fashion Row’s 19th Annual Fashion Show & Style Awards on September 8 at The Glasshouse in New York.
This year’s HFR theme, “Peace by Piece,” created an especially meaningful backdrop for Chancy’s collection—one she describes as:
“A love letter to Haiti through every stitch.” 🇭🇹
Chancy was one of three designers selected for HFR’s inaugural Runway Ahead Designer Fellowship, created with the PVH Foundation and ICON360. The opportunity goes beyond the runway, providing designers with mentorship and resources across design, finance, sourcing, merchandising, production, marketing and public relations.
For Atelier Ndigo, the runway revealed sculptural silhouettes, thoughtful craftsmanship and cultural and architectural influences—allowing Haitian identity to speak through design rather than simply being referenced by it.
