Milus Rose - Fashion Presentation

Event: NYFW "The Shows" - 9/6/24

 

NYFW "The Shows" brought Miami to Manhattan as they showcased some of the most talented designers in the industry on Friday, September 6th at the Paramount building. Fashion week always brings out the latest trends to come and this event was no different. One of the designers who presented her collection during Miami Swim week was Rose Milus. Her brand Milus Rose would showcase 19 outfits featuring swimwear. If you missed the show in Miami consider yourself Blessed because this show gave you the opportunity to experience this presentation a second time. 



Among the talented models who walked the runway, one in particular caught our attention. We met Ayinde Warren in Miami during Miami Swim Week and he was kind enough to give us an EXCLUSIVE interview.


Hi everyone! I'm Ayinde Warren aka “Swolepatrol” & I’m a model, actor, personal trainer & content creator. My journey into the world of fashion and fitness has been filled with exciting adventures and unexpected opportunities.

1. How did you get into modeling? Was it a long-time dream of yours that turned into a reality or just an opportunity that opened up for you?

I first got into modeling a few years ago when I became a full-time entrepreneur as a personal trainer and content creator. Initially, I was just looking for another way to make a little bit of extra money. My first gig was a Bud Light commercial. That experience boosted my confidence and led me to apply for various modeling opportunities. Over time, I managed to land shoots and commercials with major brands like Hulu, Hooters, Stella Artois, USAA, Chubbies and of course, Under Armour. As for runway modeling, that happened earlier this year during Miami Swim Week 2024. I initially went there to network, have a great time, and check out the shows. One of the reps, Danae aka COO of MiamiSwimweek, spotted me, saw potential, and asked for my comp card. Before I knew it, I was showing up to fittings and walking with confidence thanks to my fitness background. I ended up walking for nine different designers in my first Miami Swim Week show. And the rest, as they say, is history. We almost broke the internet when the pictures & videos came out & it was awesome how many people said I was a natural at this.

2. You're known for your workout videos and fitness lifestyle. Has modeling opened doors for you that you never imagined possible? If so, please explain.

Absolutely! Modeling has opened numerous doors I never anticipated. It's a platform that allowed me to merge my passion for fitness with fashion, creating a unique niche for myself. I've had the privilege to collaborate with fitness brands, participate in campaigns that emphasize a healthy lifestyle, and even inspire others through my journey. These opportunities have not only broadened my career but also empowered me to advocate for the importance of fitness and well-being on a larger scale.

3. You recently walked for the brand Milus Rose during NYFW "The Shows". What was it like to walk for this brand and what was your experience walking for the designer?

Walking for Milus Rose during NYFW was an awesome experience! The brand's designs resonated deeply with me. The energy backstage was electric, filled with anticipation. I wasn’t really nervous this time around because I knew I already crushed it for them in Miami. I think my physique and style really worked well with their clothing. It was an honor to bring their vision to life on the runway. Every moment was filled with excitement and gratitude, knowing I was part of something truly special.

4. Where do you see yourself and your brand in the next 5 years and beyond in the fitness and modeling industry?

In the next 5 years, I envision expanding my brand by blending fitness and fashion innovatively. My goals include collaborating with top brands, earning substantial revenue, and inspiring others to chase their dreams. I plan to launch my own activewear line, focusing on style and functionality, while adhering to my mantras: “Another day in paradise,” “Living the dream,” and “Figure it the F out.” Additionally, I aim to inspire and support others in their fitness journeys through workshops, motivational content, and collaborations with other brands. I also see myself acting in movies and TV shows, further diversifying my portfolio and reaching new audiences. I look up to successful people like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who execute at such a high level on so many different platforms. I really model myself after him... just with a full head of hair, lol. Ultimately, I see myself as a versatile leader in the modeling industry, continuously evolving and making a positive impact.

Milus Rose Info here

 

    President Niki was one of the models who slayed the catwalk wearing a black one piece bikini with silver diamond hardware. It fit her curves amazingly as she also wore a robe coverup that said the most true statement ever “ I’m fucking sexy” in silver rhinestones. Niki is a Ukrainian model living in south Florida and Miami who has been modeling for 5 years which is wild because she's only 22 years old.

     She was inspired to get into fashion because she didn't see anyone that looked like her showcasing trendy fashion. She stated: "I’ve never seen, at that time, curvy women in any sort of advertisements unless they were for weight loss, constantly being told we need to change ourselves to be worthy of fitting in. I decided to take things into my own hands and create online videos such as TikTok’s and Instagram posts showcasing my favorite outfits and brands.

Kelly was super nice and actually was one of the first designers to pick me in the fittings round. I was actually surprised they had something that fit me because traditionally the unique fun and trendy designers do not include plus size. She also had a great finale outfit that I absolutely need to steal.


Milus Rose - Final Walk


     Walking for Miami Swim the shows allowed me to get great content with photos and videos along with connecting with brands that I could model for in the future. I’m working on getting signed into a new agency so hopefully I will inspire someone to sign me. I hope to continue modeling with more paid opportunities and larger brands. I would love to walk for Cupshe or Sports Illustrated!"
