Paris Fashion Week reached divine new heights as hiTechMODA transformed The American Cathedral into a sanctuary of style and self-expression. Beneath the soaring Gothic arches and intricate stained glass of the historic landmark, independent designers from around the world presented collections that merged high fashion with human artistry—proving that the future of couture is as imaginative as it is inclusive.
Known for redefining the fashion show experience through a blend of innovation, sustainability, and empowerment, hiTechMODA returned to Paris Fashion Week with its latest edition of Cathedral Couture. The event unfolded in two sessions, each spotlighting a unique roster of designers whose work challenged convention while celebrating craftsmanship and cultural diversity.
At 2:00 p.m., the runway came alive with collections by Nita Belle’s Closet, Elena Collection, Kat Couture, Alyssa Casa Designs, Mitch Desunia, and Wonderland, each bringing a distinct voice to the global conversation on modern design. These presentations embraced daring silhouettes, inventive textiles, and deeply personal storytelling—proof that artistry thrives beyond the walls of major fashion houses.
The 4:30 p.m. program continued the creative momentum, featuring Wanda Beauchamp, Grace Steadfast, Willow Bean Studio, Charjean Couture, SCI PH, and PAAIE. Together, they showcased the exquisite craftsmanship, cultural narratives, and avant-garde aesthetics shaping today’s independent fashion movement.
Since its founding, hiTechMODA has distinguished itself as a trailblazer in the fashion production world, offering emerging and established designers access to stages traditionally dominated by legacy brands. Each event serves as a testament to the organization’s mission: to democratize fashion by championing inclusivity, sustainability, and next-generation innovation.
“Paris Fashion Week is the pinnacle of fashion, and our designers deserve the opportunity to showcase their talent here on one of the world’s most prestigious stages. We are committed to creating events that inspire and open doors for creativity across cultures, generations, and disciplines.”Pamela Privette, Executive Producer of hiTechMODA
hiTechMODA’s Paris presentations have become one of Fashion Week’s most anticipated fixtures, drawing international media, buyers, and industry insiders eager to discover visionary new talent. The grandeur of The American Cathedral provided a fitting backdrop for this year’s collections—a striking juxtaposition between the centuries-old artistry of Gothic architecture and the boundary-pushing creativity of contemporary design.
With its Paris showcase now concluded, hiTechMODA continues to expand its global influence. Upcoming editions in Milan and New York promise to build upon the brand’s growing legacy, spotlighting designers who embody the evolving narrative of fashion: one that values innovation as much as tradition, and authenticity as much as ambition.
Through Cathedral Couture, hiTechMODA reaffirmed that true luxury lies not only in craftsmanship and detail but also in opportunity—the chance for independent voices to be seen, heard, and celebrated on fashion’s grandest stage.
