Andres Aquino Presents “Casablanca" Collection at Couture Fashion Week
lry, and who is both sensual and stylish.
Dubbed the “Urban Renaissance Man” by Latino Future magazine, Mr. Aquino derived inspiration for his latest collection from the architectural details of the city of Casablanca, Morocco. “I want the collection to have sex appeal yet be classic and wearable”, says the designer. For the collection, Mr. Aquino worked with silk velvet, taffeta, silk chiffon, iridescent fabrics and fancy open weave fabrics as overlays. The collection represents a progressive evolution of wearable couture and includes cocktail dresses as well as evening gowns for the woman who loves accessories and jewel
Elements from Mr. Aquino’s past experiences in art, writing, theater and fashion show production shine through in his fashion designs “There was a strong element of romance in the fashions of the bygone era of glamour, which is another inspiration for me,” he notes. “Glamour is back and I believe each woman is in some way her own fashion designer. A designer creates a concept, but it is the woman wearing the gown who makes the final decision as to how she wants to wear it and bring it to life by choosing the finishing touches such as jewellery, bag, hat, and shoes that are complimentary to the look.”
