Right before we walk. Jitters and excitement moving through all of us. Standing with my models, knowing what it took to bring this vision to life. Then… we step into it. New York Fashion Week with @runway7fashion Full runway film next.✨

RED CARPET MOMENT 💫 From the behind-the-scenes showtime frenzy to the after-show celebration interview, I’m so grateful to finally share my New York Fashion Week interviews because they capture more than a moment. They capture the heart of DA+AF / Aphro Future and what this journey has meant to me. This brand is layered — cultural legacy, passion, meaning, memory, movement, and future all living together in one vision. I don’t just want to design garments people can wear. I want people to feel them: the care, the story, the spirit, and the love stitched into every piece. People often ask me what’s next. Honestly, I love designing. I love watching people connect to the intention in my work. But if I had to name the next runway I’m holding in my spirit, it would be Paris. I’m deeply grateful to the models who carried my work so beautifully. @dev.from.hev @torielan_ @dejanatei @_dave_castillo @_brebxby @djcrank @kay.jnae @che.harmon @limabear @akinthesupreme To the photographers who truly understood the message of Aphro Future — thank you. @art_of_jabbar @cyidesignhouse @fabio_armel_ @callme_jonjohn @dirdayo @kenkreator @niceshotsmj Special love to @kaotikmag for seeing beyond the surface and recognizing the deeper philosophy behind DA+AF / Aphro Future. Thank you to Runway 7 for the opportunity to debut at New York Fashion Week on such a beautiful stage. The production, the visuals, the energy, and the audience response meant so much to me. @runway7fashion @runway7designer I’m still taking in the meaning of this season — London, Dubai, and New York. @nyfw @runwaybyminaaz @fdcyda You can now view my runway shows on my website. DA-AF.com 🔗 in Bio. The collections are coming soon. Because if nothing else, DA+AF is Couture for the People — created from a diasporic vision and meant to speak across cultures, borders, and futures.

Dave Castillo had no agent, no portfolio, and no spot on the list. Yet in February 2026, this New York Fashion Week model walked two shows in a single night, including Rick Ross’s #RR22 label at #Runway7fashion, just five months after watching that same runway from the audience. He later found his way to @daaf_mode and a walk for @runway7merch . This is how he made it happen.
