Hi, my name is Emma Mendell, and I am a member of both the Model, Hair, and Makeup Committee as well as the Music, Photo, and Video Committee for the Dominican 2026 fashion show, What’s Your Muse? I play a collaborative role in preparing models for the runway by helping coordinate hair and makeup logistics, supporting model readiness, and ensuring a smooth backstage experience. Through my involvement in music, photo, and video, I also help shape the overall atmosphere and visual storytelling of the show, from the energy of the runway soundtrack to how the collection is captured and documented. Being part of multiple committees allows me to contribute to both the creative and production sides of the show, making sure each element works together cohesively. I am passionate about creating an environment where models feel confident and designers’ visions are fully brought to life.
