Fans of Santia McKoy’s fashion cheer on Tiffany O’Connor, manager and coordinator for the design company, as she sings one of the many national anthems that were presented before the show.
Edward Tapia, personal model for S&M Custom Design, said that he was impressed with all of the designs on the runway including his light blue custom design suit.
Santia McKoy and her husband, one of her biggest supporters, gaze into each other’s eyes after he wipes a tear of happiness from her cheek at the end of the show.
