Blazing the Runway: Speed Meets Style in a Daring New Vision
In the ever-evolving landscape of New York Fashion Week, fashion innovator and IN Future US founder Dimitri Manuel has once again captivated audiences. Known for his deep commitment to inclusivity and visionary storytelling, Dimitri returns to the spotlight with a stunning campaign that marries futuristic aesthetics with motorsport-inspired design. Collaborating with rising designer Kenya Smith, the project marks a bold leap forward in his creative evolution.
Fusion of Velocity and Vision
Set against a surreal backdrop of metallic terrains and cosmic visuals, the campaign introduces a striking collection that redefines what futuristic fashion can be. Top Eastern European model Stefano Suaros and globally recognized Gabriela Panduru headline the visuals, embodying the collection’s electric energy. Gabriela—a multifaceted icon who seamlessly balances roles as a fitness champion, science educator, Miss Tourism, and CEO—brought fierce dynamism to the shoot. “It’s more than fashion—it’s a narrative of movement and strength,” she said. Stefano echoed the spirit, describing it as “an homage to bold design and unrelenting momentum.”
Pioneering the Next Era in Fashion
Under the banner of his trailblazing label IN Future US, Dimitri is preparing to launch a transformative sportswear line that reflects both elegance and practicality. “We’re merging performance with cosmic influence—gear that moves with you and makes a statement,” Dimitri shares. This new line follows the long-anticipated launch of his Donchica fragrance duo—DM Gold and DM Silver—a luxurious olfactory experience rooted in earth tones and refined richness, delayed due to the pandemic but now ready to debut.
Legacy with Purpose: Dimitri’s Ongoing Impact
With recent collaborations alongside powerhouse platforms like Live on Broadway and Couture Fashion Week, Dimitri continues to build a legacy that prioritizes purpose alongside polish.
Beyond the runway, his work uplifts communities—whether through his mentorship initiatives, his modeling academy, or his advocacy for breast cancer survivors and domestic abuse awareness. “Fashion has always been more than fabric. It’s a language for healing, transformation, and truth,” he says.
Kenya Smith’s Design: The Fast Lane of the Future
Kenya Smith’s cutting-edge collection takes its cue from high-speed motorsports, characterized by angular silhouettes, metallic finishes, and sleek, aerodynamic tailoring. It’s a visual symphony that celebrates speed, innovation, and style—complementing Dimitri’s vision of a fashion future deeply connected to cosmic inspiration and technological advancement.
Eyes on the Horizon
As momentum from NYFW continues to build, Dimitri remains laser-focused on expanding IN Future US and launching his newly revived fragrance line. “We’ve only scratched the surface,” he says with a grin. For the latest updates, follow his journey on Instagram at @dimitri_manuel.
