“Today was a really special day. “Man, words cant really express how I felt/feel now in this moment,” he captioned his Instagram post, which included pictures of him and his mother, Elsie Mescudi. “Im happy, I feel complete, accomplished, validated, all the things that bring immense joy. My mom sharing this moment w me was everything. She got emotional, and it was such a special memory we’ll have together forever.”
He added, “I never walked across any stage. I got my GED in high school and only did a year of college. My mom finally got to see me achieve what I thought id never do. And it was beautiful. Thank you to @istitutomarangoni_miami , the wholE staff/faculty and ESPECIALLY the STUDENTS (THE FUTURE!!) for welcoming me and my family and friends w open arms and blessing me w this prestigious honor. Holy fuck I got my masters.”
Additionally, the institution congratulated Cudi in a separate post, calling him an “inspiration” to “young creatives.” [It] is an honor for us to present this to the world of fashion worldwide and also a statement in the continuos [sic] pursuit of education in fashion and design, it is the future and the present of creativity,” Istituto Marangoni Miami wrote.
Proceeds from Cudi’s Members of the Rage pop-up will go towards the IMM Scholarship Fund to assist design students in establishing themselves in the field.
Congrats Cudi!
