From New York to Guatemala 🌎
For Haseena Atariwa, New York-based designer, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) student and STEAM Award winner at the 2024 Junk Kouture World Final, travelling to Guatemala for the Volcano Summit was an opportunity to share her work, connect with new people and use her voice on an international stage.
Haseena showcased her La Voix Du Congo design at the Summit, while also learning more about the humanitarian crisis in Congo and the millions of people affected by displacement.
“Guatemala was one of the most beautiful places I’ve travelled to so far. I’m so grateful I got the chance to show my work on stage at the Volcano Summit and to be one of the voices speaking up for Congo.”
The experience also brought new connections, friendships and inspiration, all of which giving Haseena even greater confidence in what her future could hold.
From the Junk Kouture World Final to FIT and now Guatemala, Haseena continues to take her creativity, curiosity and voice far beyond the competition stage.
