Designer Edwing DAngelo hard at work!
Looks from DAngelos much talked about Spring 2008 runway show.I only feature designers on this site that I really believe have an amazing future in fashion, so its been a while since my last I Like Her Style! (or in this case His Style) feature. Thank goodness for Edwing DAngelo, the Columbian born designer making waves in the fashion industry.
The oldest of five children, DAngelo first came onto the scene in 2002. In less than six years in the industry he has dressed celebrities such as Vivica A. Fox, Lil Kim, Paula Garces, Nelly, Sean Paul and the legendary Patti Labelle. If that doesnt convince you then maybe the fact that his classic garments influenced with South American flavor were featured in the hit movie The Devil Wears Prada (look out for the yellow, floral dress that Daniel Sunjatas character shows to the notorious editor of Runway.)
DAngelo, who comes from a long line of tailors and seamstresses, always had a love and longing for fashion. In an effort to express his creative talent, DAngelo, who worked fulltime at an immigration law firm, moonlighted as a stylist on various photo shoots and assisted with wardrobe on numerous video shoots and produced countless pageants. It wasnt until he designed a prom dress for his younger sister that DAngelo began to realize his destiny. The gown was such a big hit amongst his sisters friends that he ended up making 32 in total. In 2002 he opened up his first boutique.
Edwing DAngelos gallery-like showroom embodies an air of classic minimalism infused with a refined Latin flair located in the heart of SoHo. He currently has three collections under his belt. Karaz By Edwing DAngelo is his vibrant ready to wear day and office wear. Edwing DAngelo Couture, which contains details to perfection, is his one of a kind evening wear and Edwing DAngelo Bridal is his sensual wedding gown collection. All three lines are masterfully crafted and tailored made. See the video footage below of Edwing D'Angelo on BET J.
