Testimonials Fashion Industry Make Up First School has been proud to be part of Chicago's La%no Fashion Week for the last few years. It is a great opportunity for our students to work with professionals in the industry as well as showcase their talent. Every year is a blast! -- Jill Glaser, Founder Make Up First School I have been par%cipa%ng in La%no Fashion Week Chicago for two years. I never thought I would make a clothing collec%on in a fashion show in Chicago. Thanks to Cesar and Arabel, who believed in me from the beginning, I was able to make one of my dreams come true. Through my par%cipa%on, I got to meet Maria Isabel, the owner of Fiancée Couture, who opened the doors of her bou%que to me to show my designs and expand myself in the art couture in Chicago. In LFW, I also met the wonderful Stacy Baca, a reporter who did a story on my biggest inspira%on, my mother. Thanks to this opportunity, I have grown as a person and as a designer, and soon I will open my atelier (studio) in the wonderful city of Chicago. I'm already presen%ng my collec%on in Frankfurt and Aurora, Illinois. Thanks Arabel, Cesar and the en%re family of LFW Chicago! -- Ronald Rodriguez, Fashion Designer We believe that being part of La%no Fashion Week is very important for us, as it is a place where the crea%ons of many designers coexist and help to affirm the huge exis%ng talent within the La%n American culture. -- Pineda Covalin, Fashion Designer As a fashion designer, my experience with LFW has been incredibly fun and helpful. I would like to thank Arabel and Cesar for crea%ng this fashion movement that benefits not only designers like me, but also photographers, make up ar%sts, bou%ques and other businesses. I wish them the best, as I know it is hard to begin something and be able to keep it going the way they have. Congratula%ons to them and their great team! I will con%nue to support the movement. -- Claudia Urru%a, Fashion Designer AKIRA is proud to be a long-term supporter of La%no Fashion Week. Over the years, we ve been honored to carry product from up-and-coming brands such as Anna Hovet, Eva Franco, and Kendra Dekuiper. LFW s focus on independent designers aligns with our ethos as a locally-owned bou%que. Through our par%cipa%on in LFW, we ve been able to grow our business by building las%ng rela%onships with restaurants, media outlets, and celebri%es. We ve also gained priceless exposure from La%no Fashion Week segments on ABC7, Univision, and WGN. As LFW expands into other ci%es and countries, we look forward to building our rela%onship even further & strengthening our brand presence in the na%onal and interna%onal La%no community. -- Jon Cotay, Co-Owner/Co-Founder AKIRA It's a pleasure working with the La%no Fashion Week team every year.
