Once High School was finished I enrolled at Altos de Chavon School of
Design in Dominican Republic, affiliated to Parsons School of Design
in New York. When I finished at Chavon I still felt hungry for more,

The decision was made; I moved to Italy and attended the intensive International
Fashion Program at Istituto Marangoni in Milano. ...

I want to evoke the passion in people to appreciate the beauty and essence
of life through design. I believe that everyone has a sense of design.
Those who harness it, have the power to break the boundaries that encompass
it. In the contemporary world today, exploring the multitude of connections
between design disciplines is becoming increasingly malleable. ....

how to please them. This time she wants Mozart! She wants him in every
way (even sexual). But how could she win this genius? He is so obsessed
of the music, so that is the way she can make him want her. So, that

For
my designs I’ve interpreted in three different ways a particular
piece of clothing, characteristic for modern women, the trousers. I’ve
picked up some Rococo elements like frills and other details that are
still commonly used today. Since this is partly homage to Mozart and
Mozart was the pop star of his times, my concept of design is that of
stage outfits for a modern pop star. I see a glamorous and extravagant
woman with an abundance of personality.

...
Luxurious lingerie as a" built-in" part of the garment is
my concept for Triumph International Fashion Award 2006. A bra turns
into an undividable part of a blouse, but not as visible underwear.
It becomes one of the central design elements, matched with suitable
fabrics in colour as in textile, creating harmonic ensemble. This way
the wearer gets a playful look, promising but not vulgar, female attractions
being hidden and visible at the same time. ...

come for the queens of the night. They enter the stage in robes, suitable
for the music: dreamy, romantic, seductive and playful. ... The crowd
is heated up, the hall turns into a mad house, the orchestra into a
rock band, a guitar-solo even tears the last one of its armchair and
the crowd cheers:' Rock me Amadeus '... ''
