"Sometimes we all are so go go go at full speed that we don’t stop to smell the roses and really think about how far we’ve all come in this journey. So I decided in that moment to just let myself feel every emotion and the tears came."
She added, "I felt a little silly in a swimsuit tearing up lol but the truth is the 14 year old little girl with big dreams took it all in. Never stop dreaming,"

The designer also thanked her models and team for their hard work.
