Zaya’s father Dwyane Wade and her stepmom Gabrielle Union attended the fashion show to capture the special moment. The couple, who wed in 2014, sat at the show alongside stylist Thomas Christos Kikis, who took to Instagram to share more.
“Tears in my eyes as i watched @zayawade make her debut at @miumiu today,” part of Kikis caption read. “Thank you @zayawade for showing me what it means to believe in yourself,” he later continued in the caption.
WWD reported the collection had “an elevation of everyday wear along the lines of what Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons did in Milan, but with more gender-fluid expression.” The creative director of Miu Miu is Miuccia Prada, who is also the co-chief executive officer and co-creative director of Prada. Emma Corrin walked in the runway show, going bare in a tan turtleneck sweater from the brand and a pair of shimmering panties.
