SOHO MUSE – DESIGNER SHOWCASE

Not going to lie, I was especially excited to see the winners of the SohoMuse designer showcase. Something about the young fiery energy of students battling it out to win the top prize of having their collection become a reality really brought out that part of me that uses Bravo shows to self-soothe at night. These designers did not disappoint, giving the audience something to “Oo” at – each running with their own themes to showcase their heart. This fall we got to view and celebrate the first, second and third place winners of the SohoMuse student designer showcase.

First place winner of the student showcase, Desislava Simeonova had the honor and thrill of starting the spectacular Saturday of the Runway 7 Spring/Summer 2023 showcase. Despite the two hour delay that permeated throughout all shows for the rest of the day ( and into the evening ), the crowd readily accepted with thirsting eyes the asymmetrical lines, geometric shapes and chic cuts and cut-outs that opened for us on Saturday in Simeonova’s collection. The appreciation for negative space and classic touch of gloves was a personal favorite.

Up next, second place winner Francys Lorena Herrera gave us a refreshing men’s collection featuring bold color blocks coupled with hoods, bands and mesh. Here was where minimalism and loud colors choices meet together on a trench coat and shake hands. I could imagine this to be futuristic medic fashion used in a fantastical setting.

Filipino born Jaqueline Mones, creator of Jacque Label, gave us futuristic femme in with her mix of galactic breastplates, killer organic shapes and sheer flowing fabrics. These seemingly opposing materials brought so much fun and interest to the eye, Jacque Label really gave us a show.

Pursuing a mission...

My mission life is to be able to bring people a positive testimony through my work and show that constancy makes it possible.

"Years ago, I set out to create a collections of designs that felt timeless, classic, and functional. My modern design creations are defined by a blend of form and function- leading to provide society with long lasting clothes, with design elements and materials that can supply needs of people and garment industry. I like going through a deep design process, sourcing of materials, pattern making and manufacturing, meeting the most high standards and quality. I am very constant and passionate about what I do- I want my work to be a reference for upcoming designers, settling new paths towards the fashion industry and leave a positive foot print in the world."
