During Bridal Week in New York City, Godni served as the key makeup artist for an exclusive runway presentation that would leave a lasting impact. Among the models gracing the show was none other than Carley Beck—a striking and sought-after fashion model known for her work with iconic designers such as Zac Posen, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta, and Monique Lhuillier. Her presence commands the runway, and during this particular show, she was chosen to be the face of the finale look.
The finale gown, a breathtaking collaboration with bridal designer Sarah Jassir, was paired with a custom makeup look by Godni, who crafted a soft yet powerful aesthetic tailored precisely to complement the intricacies and spirit of the dress. Carley was so touched by the transformation and the attention to detail that, following the show, she kissed Godni on the cheek and thanked him personally—an emotional and affirming moment that solidified their connection.
The stunning imagery of Carley in the finale gown and Godni’s makeup artistry was featured in prominent publications such as Women’s Wear Daily, Bridal Magazine, and more. The collaboration was not only professionally celebrated but also led to a personal bond between Godni and Carley. Inspired by his work with A Free Bird, Carley later became a mentor and model tutor to one of the children in the organization—further proof of the meaningful impact fashion can have when infused with purpose and heart.
