VELIOR 3.0 is designed to be an immersive fashion experience that goes beyond the traditional runway. From designer collections and model presentations to the red carpet and media coverage, the evening will bring together fashion professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, influencers, media personalities and members of the Houston community. The event will showcase the creativity of established and emerging designers while providing models and fashion professionals with a platform for visibility and industry connections.

“VELIOR 3.0 is a very important chapter for us because we are coming back to Houston, where VELIOR started,” said Philip, Creator of VELIOR and Founder and Owner of AfroVibes TV & Radio. “We have taken the vision to Atlanta, and now we're bringing it back home before we begin the next phase of the VELIOR journey. This is about creating an experience that Houston can be proud of while building something that can ultimately reach the world.”
