April 2019

Spring is in the air, and that means new lines from fashion designers worldwide. Here in the Gables we are home to some of the best clothing designers in the country, who devise and fabricate both individual haute couture for their clients as well as Spring lines. What follows is a sampling of their exquisite work for the vernal season.

Mayda Cisneros
305 Palermo Ave. 305.448.5848

“Spring is about fun, glamour, and being in touch with your femininity. For this collection we are experimenting with texture and flow and at the same time maintaining our classic clean lines. The color palette is again part of our subtleness, bright but muted hues. This collection pays homage to the freedom of women, but without forgetting that there is a balance that must maintain the elegance.” – Mayda Cisneros, proprietor and designer of Mayda Cisneros Couture

Silvia Tcherassi
350 San Lorenzo Ave. #2140. 305.461.0009

“The Spring/Summer 2019 Collection is a very creative, luxurious take in the bohemian style. Vivid colors and fluid silhouettes were contrasted with beautiful prints and voluminous accents – including oversized belts – to cre- ate very feminine looks, all presented in a lovely palette of marigold, green, citron and tangerine. I was inspired by the French bohemian spirit of the ’70s, and a strong and independent woman ready to enjoy the everlasting magic of Paris. This collection is for women looking for a relaxed, but sophisticated style, my very own definition of casual luxury.” – Silvia Tcherassi, proprietor and designer of Silvia Tcherassi in the Shops at Merrick Park

Victoria Lopez-Castro
245 Catalonia Ave. 305.447.9975

“Right now it’s about the ‘modern romantics’ the soft classic look with a bit of an edge. This is the way I have always perceived fashion and the woman who wears my clothes. Layering textures and different color combinations is what makes the pieces interesting. We are continually creating different designs using fabrics and many techniques to cater to our clients needs. I’m not big on following trends, I have always been a fan of the true classic cuts with details that make the look current.” – Victoria Lopez-Castro, proprietor and designer of Victoria Lopez-Castro
