“I almost wasn’t here.”

Before the lights come up. Before the music begins. Before the first model takes the runway… we want you to hear this.

Today, ANDROG: Frequency | A Classic Fashion Affair takes the stage, but fashion has never been the only story we came to tell.

In recognition of su***de prevention and awareness, members of our team, designers, and models came together to share something deeper: the reality that some of the people standing beside us today have faced moments when tomorrow was not guaranteed.

This video is for the people who almost weren’t here.

For the battles nobody saw.
For the stories that continued.
For the people still finding their frequency.
And for anyone who needs a reminder that their presence matters.

Today, we celebrate fashion, artistry, individuality, and LIFE.

Because imagine everything the world would have missed if they weren’t here.

🖤 ANDROG: Frequency
A Classic Fashion Affair
TODAY • September 13

Come experience the runway, the stories, and the frequency with us.

ANDROG MODEL CONFESSIONALS: NICK

CONFESSIONAL #5 🎤

Every journey has a first step. For Nick, that step leads straight to the ANDROG runway. 🖤

Meet one of our first-time ANDROG models, stepping into a new experience and discovering what happens when you give yourself permission to try something different.

We asked Nick:

“What motivated you to step into something new like ANDROG?”

Their answer gives us a glimpse into what brought them here and what it means to take that chance on something new. Because sometimes the biggest part of stepping onto a runway happens before the first walk. It’s deciding to step forward at all.

🎬 Watch Nick’s confessional and get to know another face behind this year’s ANDROG. 👀 Be there to see Nick make their ANDROG debut. 📲 Follow along. More ANDROG Model Confessionals are coming.

ANDROG MODEL CONFESSIONALS: TOMEKA CONFESSIONAL #4 🎤

Last year, she watched from the audience.
This year, she’s stepping behind it all. 🖤

Meet Tomeka, a new ANDROG model experiencing the show from an entirely different perspective.

She’s already seen what happens when the lights come up and the runway comes alive. Now she gets to experience the rehearsals, preparation, people, energy and everything that happens before the audience ever takes their seats.

We asked her:

“What are you most excited to experience at ANDROG?”

🎬 Hear Tomeka’s answer and see ANDROG through the eyes of someone going from attendee to participant. Sometimes you experience the show from your seat. Sometimes you decide it’s time to become part of it. ✨

👀 Be there to see Tomeka make her ANDROG debut.

🎥 ANDROG MODEL CONFESSIONALS: ALYSSA “BLU” JOHNSON

CONFESSIONAL #3 🎤

Meet Alyssa “Blu” Johnson, a third-time returning ANDROG model and the face of last year’s main show flyer. From walking the runway to representing the face of the production, Blu has become part of the ANDROG story since the beginning.

This time, we asked:

“What is one moment from your ANDROG journey that you’ll never forget?”

Their answer takes us back to a moment of encouragement from Birmingham runway legend and ANDROG Ambassador, Ira Ira. Sometimes, a few words from someone who has walked before you can stay with you long after the lights go down. ✨

🎬 Watch Blu’s confessional.
👀 And follow along for more voices, memories, and stories from the ANDROGbham family.

And Dominique gave us his answer. 🎙️✨

This is one of the firms Happiest moments, the BTS Recap for " Revolution & Resilience " is here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🎬♻️ Behind every runway moment is a whirlwind of garment racks, hair spray, makeup brushes, quick changes, camera flashes, and a team turning creative sparks into a full production galaxy.

This year, The Artista Firm was honored to return for our SECOND year coaching the models for Bib & Tucker Sew-Op’s Recycled Runway in partnership with the Birmingham Museum of Art.

This season, we stepped even deeper into the production world, assisting with logistics, production coordination, hair & makeup, media coverage, and overall show flow.

From backstage prep to runway magic, it was incredible watching sustainability, fashion, youth creativity, and community collide under one roof. ♻️✨

Huge congratulations to every kid/teen designer, model, volunteer, creative, and supporter who helped bring this experience to life. The future of fashion is innovative, collaborative, and boldly expressive.

Here’s a look behind the curtain at the energy, artistry, and organized chaos that made Recycled Runway unforgettable. 🎥🪡👠
