I was completely in awe when this show finished and out came the designer, Rafi, to walk the runway. I was loving every garment with the contrasting patterns and vibrant colours and to discover the designer is a 9 year old boy who has been deaf since birth just left me speechless. What incredible talent he has and a wild imagination for patterns and styling – you are my new hero Rafi and I hope your dreams to showcase in Milan and around the world come true..
