GVSU’s 494 Magazine hosted this incredible fashion show at the newly opened NOW Gallery. Their venue provided a minimalist canvas where every shade could shine in its full splendor. Featuring ten local designers, each collection felt like it was telling the story of who Grand Rapids is now. More ∞ Joy closed the evening with our fall collection — a living spectrum of color.
Fashion shows can feel like they’re over before they begin, but this one lingered in spirit. Each model embodied their hue so entirely that the collection became a meditation on harmony, identity, and collective resonance.
🎨 The Autumn Rainbow Lineup — Grand Finale
❤️ Autumn in Oxblood Red – @autumn_gorman
Oxblood Red carries the warmth of passion tempered by patience. It speaks to courage that’s been tested, love that’s matured, and vitality that glows from within rather than burns to prove itself.
🧡 DeAria in Pagoda Orange – @deariamartin
Pagoda Orange is joy in motion — radiant, alive, and transformative. It’s the color of creative confidence, like sunset light reflecting on copper skin.
🥉 Malik in Bronze – @malik.jamesss
Bronze gleams with resilience, a metal forged in endurance and artistry. It honors the beauty of lived experience — polished, imperfect, and full of soul.
🌿 Evan in Moss Green – @evanjohnston
Moss Green invites calm, trust, and restoration. It’s a reminder that growth can happen quietly, in the shade, when we root down and stay present.
🌊 Kayla in Teal Blue – @ultraaviolence
Teal Blue merges intuition with intellect — it’s both soothing and electric. This hue mirrors emotional clarity and the courage to express what’s true beneath the surface.
💙 Elijah in Strong Navy – @juzteliii
Strong Navy is the steady hum beneath chaos — loyal, confident, and timeless. It holds space for depth and leadership, the calm that anchors the storm.
💜 Josh in Ultraviolet – @josh.sommers
Ultraviolet is the color of creative awakening and spiritual exploration. It exists between worlds — the visible and invisible — guiding us toward transformation and inner vision.
🍒 Cameron in Black Cherry – @c_w650
Black Cherry hums with sensuality and power. It reminds us that darkness can be delicious — that confidence blooms when we stop hiding our depth.
🍷 Jaden in Burgundy – @jadennricee
Burgundy is the color of quiet authority — refined, intentional, and full of grace. It speaks softly yet commands the room, embodying passion without performance.
🍫 Nora in Truffle Brown – @noraflaharty
Truffle Brown grounds the collection in warmth and belonging. It’s the color of the earth’s heartbeat — steady, nurturing, and deeply human.
🖤 Andrea in Better Black – @andreacurlyhost
Better Black represents integration — the blending of all colors into a fertile void. It’s the creative reset, the space between breaths, where new ideas are born.
A Living Spectrum of Seasons
At More ∞ Joy, we create many rainbows. With over 150 activated dyes, our palette expands and contracts like breath, moving through the emotional cycles of the year:
🌷 Spring Rainbows are made of hues — fresh and luminous, full of beginnings.
☀️ Summer Rainbows glow with tints — bright, airy, and sun-warmed.
🍂 Autumn Rainbows deepen into tones — rich, complex, and reflective.
❄️ Winter Rainbows settle into shades — mysterious, elegant, and introspective.
Our Autumn Rainbow Collection celebrates these tonal depths — where warmth meets wisdom and beauty feels rooted in truth. To explore which rainbow aligns with your current season of life, visit:
