QUINTUS to Present in New York City at NYFW: A Fifth-Dimensional Debut Rooted in Meaning, Craft, and Evolution
As New York Fashion Week approaches, a rising brand is preparing to introduce a new dimension of storytelling to the runway. QUINTUS, derived from the Latin word meaning “fifth,” represents more than a name but it symbolizes the Fifth Dimension, a state of continual evolution guided by faith and the belief in a higher existence.
Their debut collection, "Genesis," marks the official beginning of the QUINTUS universe: a world built on symbolism, craftsmanship, duality, and an unwavering commitment to detail.
The brand just presented at Miami Art Basel on December 6th and they will now head to the big apple, New York City, to bring their runway collection to life at New York Fashion Week.
A Collection Born from Identity, Symbolism, and Vision
“Genesis” serves as an introduction to the brand’s visual language, showcasing both the primary angel logo and the secondary double-headed lamb motif, representing duality... a core theme woven throughout the collection.
“We wanted to make a strong introduction as a brand,” the designer shares. “Bold, stand-out pieces were important to us, but so was versatility. We wanted each garment to say something meaningful.”
Every detail holds intention. The story lives in the fully screen-printed graphics, the intricate embroidery, and the precise construction of garments created in Los Angeles from premium fabrics and materials that are made to last.
One of the most striking components of the debut is a limited series featuring luxury Riri zippers custom-made in Switzerland. Only 18 special-edition pieces of each t-shirt, hoodie, sweatpant, and vegan leather pant will be produced offering buyers versatility and exclusivity.
Audience feedback has already shown strong excitement for the brand’s full sherpa sweatsuit, embellished with gold embroidered signature logos that have become an early favorite.
A Journey Years in the Making
For QUINTUS, this collection represents more than creativity but it's the realization of a vision that has been forming for years.
“This means the world to us. To finally see everything come to life and to receive such positive feedback - it’s surreal. And it makes us even more excited for what the future holds.”
This sense of evolution aligns deeply with the brand’s meaning: the Fifth Dimension, the continuous unfolding of purpose.

Rooted in Tampa, Designed for the World
QUINTUS is based in Tampa, Florida, a city the brand is proud to represent.
“Being from Tampa, we’ve always wanted to create something our city would be proud of. But we also want our brand recognized across the U.S. and internationally.”
Their influences span past, present, and future, but the designer emphasizes excitement for what’s ahead. “We're inspired by storytelling, meaning, and ideas we haven't brought to life yet.”
The Magic of the Runway Experience
For QUINTUS, the runway is not just a moment but it’s a journey.
“Our favorite part is the entire process is meeting like-minded creatives, selecting garments for each model, fittings, rehearsals, hearing the audience react, getting feedback afterward. We enjoy all of it because it’s part of where we’re trying to go.”
That "where" includes a long-term vision of expanding into international fashion weeks and, one day, hosting dedicated QUINTUS runway shows.
A Designer’s Personal Journey
Fashion has always been present in the designer’s life.
“I’ve always loved clothing and followed different brands’ collections. Eventually, I couldn’t find pieces I wanted in the market, and that’s when I knew I wanted my own brand. It started with writing down ideas. Then I researched how to make them real.”
Support from family has been the cornerstone of this journey. “My family has always encouraged me. Their belief in me means everything.”
Acknowledgments & Gratitude

Valentina Varnavskaia, Owner of Florida Men's Fashion Week
