The green room buzzed with anticipation and energy. Models moved between makeup chairs and racks of garments. Stylists scurried around, adjusting hemlines, fixing stray curls, and touching up lips.
In the middle of all the chaos stood Zara, with awe in her wide eyes as she watched the models carrying her dresses so gracefully.
Her creations came to life. Flowing hems, daring cuts, bold embroidery, and sleek modern lines – those dresses looked amazing on the models' perfect figures. Each design she had agonized over, reworked, and stitched with hope was now ready to meet the world.
After five long years away from the runway, this was her moment. Her heart raced with excitement and nerves. She felt the weight of expectation press into her chest, both thrilling and terrifying.
"I can't believe this," she whispered. "It's really happening."
