Episode 2 of our 4-part NYC Amare x RED event series is here!

On this episode of Michelle Barone RED, Michelle and Ashleigh sit down with two powerhouse brands redefining confidence, creativity, and self-expression in completely different industries.

First, we meet Andres and Jonathan, the designer and founders behind I Fly Universe — a futuristic streetwear brand built around bold individuality, artistic freedom, and fearless self-expression. The duo opens up about the inspiration behind the brand, the meaning of the powerful name “I Fly Universe,” and how fashion can become a form of confidence and identity. They discuss creative risks, building a standout brand in today’s fashion world, social media growth, and the vision they have for the future of streetwear and culture.

Then, the conversation shifts into beauty, empowerment, and transformation with Sarina, founder of FACE.by.Sarina, an award-winning celebrity aesthetics practitioner known for facial balancing, advanced cosmetic treatments, and confidence-focused beauty transformations. Sarina shares the meaning behind her brand, the success of her signature “Red Carpet Lift,” and how she’s built a business rooted in helping people feel empowered while still embracing authenticity. She also speaks candidly about entrepreneurship, motherhood, overcoming challenges as a woman in business, and the larger impact she hopes to continue making in the beauty industry.
This episode is all about confidence, creativity, self-expression, and building brands that inspire people to unapologetically become the best version of themselves.
