Winter White & Classy Black by Designer Vito Emanuele.

Designer Vito Emanuel and I.

First up, from my perspective and any fashion stylist, there's gotta be always plenty of options... be it shoes, bags, bling or dresses, there can never be enough options - anyone who has watched the Rachel Zoe Project will know what I mean. This includes going for different,Looks, styles, colors, trends, prints and gowns.

Both of my Gowns that i wore for the Latino Trendsetter Awards were by designer Vito Emanuele.

Vito Emanuele began a creative career as a display designer, creating windows and interiors for New York’s premier stores. He segued into fashion as a design assistant at Halston. While working directly with Halston on new designs he learned the fine art and discipline of couture. Vito’s next move would be to the house of Perry Ellis, working as a member of the famed design team that created modern classic sportswear.  

Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, Eva Marie Saint... icons of style and elegance paired with the artistic genius of Hitchcock is the reason Vito Emanuele became a fashion designer. An artist whose life interest is the pursuit of beauty. 

When i visit his showroom i truly fell in love with everything i felt like i left New York for a moment and visit Paris. his talent is beyond amazing, his collection so classy very haute couture rather than ready to wear, are made up of clothes for real women who prefer to dress in flattering, tasteful and chic garments that are made with the same care, skill and detail as the great couturiers of Paris.

I decided on 2 Gorgeous Gowns My first pick was the white  which i wore for the Red Carpet it was a Goddess Pulley Gown by Vito Emanuele and since the Winter White trend is so in, that was my choice besides my shoes were black and covered in Swarovski Crystal, so i did a white and black Goddess story.

Currently Vito is combining classic elegance and modern luxury, lending timelessness to his collections that range from casual, suiting, cocktail, evening and outerwear. 

My second Pick Once we enter the dinner and got ready for the awards and gala i wore a Sheer Black Crossed Gown which i paired with some Pink Pumps with a stunning heel made of Swarovski crystals.

Oh and let's not forget the right underwear too, as camera flashes picks up everything and can reveal too much! since my second gown was sheer mostly on the top i made sure i covered up well haha. As for rocking heels all night, one stylists recommends dropping an advil to deal with the pain & making sure you have a plaster handy.
