I must say, I truly enjoyed my time at Fashion Houston and I'm already anticipating next year's event! I was in attendance the 3rd night which showcased designs from Rolando Santana, Chloe Dao, David Peck, and Yigal Azrouel. See pics/info below regarding each designer and their collections. 

Rolando Santana

The first designer was Rolando Santana.  Rolando is a native of Cuemavaca, Mexico.  His love of fashion began as a young child.  He observed as his mother created unique pieces for special clients.  He realized early on that being a fashion designer was his dream.  After years of study and working with major dress companies, Rolando felt compelled to begin his own collection.  His primary purpose when designing is to make women feel beautiful.  

See images below of Rolando's springtime fashion:

I simply adored the soft, pastel colors in Rolando's line. He used a lot of floral prints as well. It has prepared me for springtime.

Chloe Dao was the second designer of the night. She is a Houston local who made her fashion debut on the hit show 'Project Runway.' The season 2 winner credits her love of fashion from watching Style with Elsa Klensch when she was only 10 years old.  Years later, she earned her degree from F.I.T. in New York.  Chloe is quite familiar with the fashion industry as she has held numerous positions throughout her career.  In 2008, Chloe opened her Lot 8 boutique here in Houston.  The name has been changed to DAO Chloe DAO.

 Let's view pieces from Chloe's spring 2014 collection:

What can I say except "wowzers" for Chloe's line!  She is full of surprises.  Her collection varied with patterns and styles.  She has truly become an icon in the fashion world with her timeless classics.

David Peck is another famous local that we're proud of! While most designers outsource their products, David's team creates and manufactures the signature lines here in the U.S.  David earned his fashion degree in Paris.  He worked for a number of renowned fashion houses and was also a style consultant/costume designer for many films.  

Take a look at a few of David's designs:

Our last designer for the evening was Yigal Azrouel, who is a native of Israel.  He seeks inspiration from everywhere: art, culture, nature, and architecture.  Yigal introduced his first line of women's wear in 1998 to which he began participating in New York's Fashion Week .  His designs are known for their quality fabrics and ultra-feminine silhouettes.  In 2003, Yigal opened his first boutique called Yigal Azrouel Boutique.  Since then, Yigal has expanded his business with men's wear and footwear lines. 

Here are a pictures of the Yigal's spring 2014 collection:

Yigal revealed his line of edgy, sexy, and flirtatious women's wear.  Many outfits consisted of bold patterns and feminine flare while others were risk-taking.
