TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — KGUN9 first introduced you to Ian Urquhart, the owner of Ignis Clothing, back in February 2023 for Black History Month. Today, we share our follow up interview with the midtown designer who was making clothes for the runway out of his garage.

From the Old Pueblo to the Big Apple, Urquhart took his Tucson clothing brand to the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier this month. His traveling crew of about 15 people– models, hair stylists, makeup artists and photographers were all from Tucson.

Urquhart was able to walk out on the runway with his models after the show to soak in what he had just accomplished.

Among the highlights, Peter Do debuted at Helmut Lang; Ralph Lauren made an opulent return to the calendar, and Coach hosted its 10th-anniversary runway inside the New York Public Library. Now, fashion showgoers are off to London, where the English city’s designers have just begun showing.

Most notably, Sarah Burton announced her exit from the helm of Alexander McQueen, after more than two decades with the brand. Additionally, the CFDA unveiled the nominees for this year’s Fashion Awards; reports surfaced regarding a Kim Jones x Stefano Pilati collab, and Louis Vuitton launched a podcast.
