Lady Ray is coming to Dallas Fashion Week

Presenting: Dallas Fashion Week — The Lady Ray Way

On May 3, 2026, inside a private penthouse in Dallas, we’re not just hosting a show, we’re building a room that understands what fashion, collaboration, and creativity is supposed to feel like.

From about 12PM to 5PM, this space transforms into more than a runway. It becomes a curated environment where designers, models, and creatives aren’t just seen…They’re positioned.

When the right people are in the room, you don’t have to force impact. It happens naturally. I've been in the rooms people dream about and produced with the pace, precision, and pressures of what it takes to be in Hollywood media and New York Fashion Week. What you'll quickly learn about me, my teams, and anything I do, is that its not just about fame, fortune, or in this case fashion. Its about impact, purpose, and positioning those a part of my movement with passion and heart.

Fashion found me already in motion. It has always been a way that I express my deepest self and my armor for the life I've built around me.

Before a word is ever spoken, our clothes communicate and tell us who someone is, where they've been, and sometimes what they've survived. It can even tell us who someone is on the way to becoming; a catalyst for people still figuring themselves out.

For the past 14 years, I've leaned on how I put my clothes together, on a budget and with just vision. What people often miss is that its not just about what's worn but how its presented. The walk. The pace. The energy. I have been the underdog, the one in the room learning and stepping into rooms that stretched me.. and now, I am creating them! I do not take that lightly.

This is what I do at Lady Ray Productions. Its not about an event. I'm not just creating a moment in time, I am creating systems around creativity, so it lasts. Something that people won't easily forget about and will keep coming back. This show is not built on trends, imitation, or chasing what's already been done. This is a statement that fashion is a full experience that deserves the right respect and direction. Its a responsibility, as we shape perception, telling people what's valuable and worth attention.

For as long as most of us can remember, there has been a gap between local talent and global opportunity. I've walked in both and I am not interested in gatekeeping the difference. I'm standing in the gap and closing it! This is about honoring the creative craft it takes to set a trend.

This show is a bridge between raw talent and refined presentation. Between ideas and execution. Between where we are, and where we’re going. Every model, designer, and moment in this show is curated. Not for perfection, but for alignment. Its coming from experience in what a real production looks like and bringing that level of intention back home, to where I started my career; Dallas, Texas.

This is for the creatives. The ones who have been ready but haven't found the right platform. This isn't for the sake of "doing something cute." This is a marker. A shift in how we show up for creativity in our cities and beyond. Texas doesn’t lack talent. We’ve just been missing rooms like this.

Notable sponsors include Lady Ray, K7J Authentic and 4YOUTV's The Fashion Network TM - Televisions Premier Runway, where the show will be broadcasted and available to watch on Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku.
