As a color designer, Hayden explores his own identity through his brand, admiringly infusing his cultural heritage and respect for STEM and technology into his womenswear designs. Hayden is on the official IMG / NYFW calendar with an additional digital show for the 9th of September at 3:30 a.m..

Hayden began his fashion career in 2012 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from The Dallas Art Institute and earned his MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Hayden previously hailed his education for preparing him for a career in fashion. “[Ai] really prepares its students to enter the industry with practical and real-world goals, rather than inflated and sugar-sweet dreams of becoming big stars. ”

Today, Hayden is respected for his dedication to couture techniques and sustainable design and production, as well as his unique ability to combine the worlds of fashion, art and technology. In 2016, his work helped explore meaningful applications of technology in fashion, including augmented reality, which was showcased at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
