On June 14th, Mediums Collective, a fashion powerhouse for nearly a decade, co-founded by brothers Cesar and Roger Maldonado, transformed a city block in Seattle’s Capitol Hill into an extraordinary runway. This event transcended a typical display of garments; it was a profound celebration of legacy, community, and the transformative power of art. Marking a significant elevation for the collective, the show boldly pushed the boundaries of style and culture. It served as a vibrant, creative protest, allowing Mediums Collective to express their deepest passions for fashion and storytelling, and to articulate their feelings about the world and their cherished community through a compelling artistic lens.

A special element of the event was the collaboration with Street Queenz, a remarkable women-represented classic car crew. Their presence, with classic cars gracing the runway, created a powerful visual metaphor. The overarching message woven throughout the entire experience was one of human connection and universal love – a particularly poignant and urgent theme in a world that often feels increasingly fragmented and separated. The event meticulously aimed to foster genuine unity, inspire positive change, and uplift every individual present, with a special emphasis on empowering the younger generation.

In a world frequently characterized by frustration and destruction, Mediums Collective powerfully demonstrated the immense capability of utilizing art and voice as potent tools to ignite change and cultivate motivation. The sheer ability to create such a profound and tangible impact within their beloved community was the undeniable driving force behind their unique “protest” through fashion. It passionately emphasized unity, strengthened community bonds, and fostered mutual upliftment for all.
