D’Marsh Couture: The Secret to Winning ELYSIAN’s Publisher’s Choice Award

by Amber Edwards

At the heart of ELYSIAN Magazine lies a refined vision—one that seamlessly blends sophistication, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to meaningful storytelling. It is this distinguished taste, curated by ELYSIAN’s publisher, Karen Floyd, that set the stage for the CatWalk FurBaby Publisher’s Choice Award. Determined by ELYSIAN’s esteemed contributors from across the nation, this award honors the team that most effectively encapsulated the magazine’s ethos of elegance, advocacy, and inspiration.

This year, the prestigious award was presented to Team Texas, a collective that embodied the spirit of ELYSIAN through its powerful narrative and stunning execution. Featuring the compassionate mission of Operation Kindness, the artistry of NYC-based lifestyle brand D’Marsh Couture, the creative genius of designer Glenroy March, and the captivating presence of Russian model Gia Skova, Team Texas delivered an unforgettable moment on the runway.

Draped in a breathtaking ensemble by Glenroy March of D’Marsh Couture, Gia Skova graced the runway with effortless poise, accompanied by Daisy the Pomeranian, an ambassador for Operation Kindness. The duo exuded timeless elegance in a look aptly titled “Evening Walk Under the Stars.”

This exquisite design transported audiences to a cool spring evening in Paris, where a graceful young woman strolls through cobblestone streets beneath a celestial sky. The air, rich with the aroma of fresh blooms, swirls around her as she carries a wicker basket filled with fragrant blossoms—a poetic representation of hope, renewal, and the beauty of second chances. It was a tableau that not only celebrated high fashion but also echoed the profound mission of Operation Kindness: to offer animals the opportunity for a new beginning.

As a leading no-kill animal shelter, Operation Kindness has long been a beacon of hope for countless homeless pets. Their unwavering commitment to rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming ensures that every animal in their care is given the love and support needed to thrive. Beyond their adoption efforts, Operation Kindness actively engages in community education, promoting responsible pet ownership and advancing animal welfare through impactful outreach programs.

By aligning with Operation Kindness, Team Texas reinforced the core values of ELYSIAN—compassion, elegance, and philanthropy. Their seamless blend of high fashion and heartfelt advocacy resonated deeply with the audience, making them the undeniable choice for this esteemed award.

As the CatWalk FurBaby event came to a close, the luminescent spirit of Team Texas remained, serving as a testament to the magic that unfolds when style meets substance. Thanks to Karen Floyd’s discerning eye and ELYSIAN’s commitment to celebrating excellence, the Publisher’s Choice Award was not just a recognition of fashion—it was a tribute to the transformative power of purpose-driven elegance.
