Day of the Death: A fashionable Statement

Mondo Guerra

Project Runway Season 8 first runner up, Mondo Guerra, was the clear winner in our eyes, but guess we are not eye-to-eye with the judges, this time.  Disappointedly, granola Gretchen Jones was selected as winner for this season.  Personally, I felt cheated as not only did Mondo have a winning streak during the show’s weekly competitions, but also his collection was a total showstopper.  It was rich of our most favorite ingredients color and freshness.

With a Latino-inspired collection, filled with his clear and unique fashion sense, Mondo Guerra is the new king of prints, as he made this difficult art look so effortless! The fashion walking down the runway was rich in color and had a very special treat, images of the Day of the Dead, which were also designed by Mondo. As we celebrate this day on November 2nd, I wanted to dedicate this post to Mr. Guerra’s fashionable interpretation of a timeless classic tradition that bumps Halloween anytime, in the scary department.

We can’t understand what happened to Michael Kors and Nina Garcia this season! But we definitely believe bigger and wonderful things will come to an out of this world, talented individual as Mondo Guerra.

Recap: Miami Hair, Beauty & Fashion 2010

The Location:

The Water Spa at the Viceroy was stunning, surrounded by Velati Candles that provided a very special touch.  The venue was divided into three different levels: first level had two glass suites that offered the “Backstage” experience of hair and make-up.   Suave Professionals ® and Babyliss PRO in conjunction with the amazing team from Rocco Donna Hair and Beauty Art, were in the house making everyone look beautiful.  On the second level, we had the main space, with pools delicately spread around the “floating library” that included the Fashion Lounge.  And finally, the third level had a  unique full bar that provided guests with a wide variety of exciting concoctions.
