Featured work
Midnight
Remi’s first featured public piece, created for the 2026 Ridgewood High School Fashion Show and inspired by the feeling of being somewhere special at midnight.
Debut piece
A party dress made for dancing.
Midnight is black, sleeveless, and cut a few inches above the knee, with a turtleneck neckline, a zipper in the back, and feathers along the hem. The display styling stayed intentionally simple, with a pair of shoes placed beside it, so the dress could hold the room on its own.

About Remi
Making my own clothes, my own way.
Remi Artemis Fernandez is a 7-year-old fashion designer in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and a second grader at Ridge Elementary School. She takes sewing class two days a week, and spends the rest of her time doing what she calls “making my own clothes, my own way.”
Her origin story starts early. As a toddler, she wrapped herself in tin foil, colored it, and turned it into outfits. By age four, she graduated to needle and thread, and her first official project was a pillow with her name on it. Today, her favorite parts of the process are designing and sewing. The hardest part is cutting, especially when the fabric is thick and you have to get it right all at once.
Remi’s style is classic, vibey, and comfortable. She loves bell bottoms and sweatshirts, and she is firmly anti-jeans. Her color palette splits in two: bright pops like yellow, orange, and pink, and “midnight” tones like purple, blue, and black. Green is not her favorite.
Remi designs mostly for herself, but she loves creating for her friends and her brother too. She is building her brand, Artemis, which stands for one thing: fashion. Outside the studio, she loves to draw and sing, and her favorite movie is Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Read the full featured bio
For the 2026 Ridgewood High School Fashion Show on Sunday, March 8, Remi created a display piece called Midnight. It was designed for dancing and for feeling like you are special at midnight. The mannequin styling stayed simple, with a pair of shoes placed with it, letting the dress and its mood speak for themselves.
Her point of view
Classic. Vibey. Comfortable. Clean silhouettes with a little drama when it counts.
Favorite parts of the process
Designing and sewing. She loves turning an idea in her head into a real piece that can be worn, styled, and shared.
What comes next
More custom pieces, more sketchbook ideas, and now two new public milestones: the Youth Art Month Exhibition and the Ridgewood Chamber Fashion Show. Midnight is the beginning, not the end.
