Praised by critics and fashion magazines worldwide, honored with important distinctions in her country and abroad, Silvia Tcherassi received last year the New Star in Fashion Award granted by the Fashion Week of the Americas, in Miami.Her refined and sober style can be admired in the transparent and ethereal creations that almost float in the air and transform women from passive victims of fashion into owners of their own freedom. "She designs a second skin for angels. It could be said that she thinks about how the dress brushes the wind and breathes on the woman’s own skin," commented a famous fashion magazine.As can be seen in this delightful book, the first entirely dedicated to her art, all the lines she handles from pret-a-porter and jeans to bridal gowns and the formal evening line combine the classic with the avant-garde.With a boutique in Miami for three years and another about to open in Bal Harbor very soon, Silvia Tcherassi aspires to establish her own showcase in New York within five years. A place she will surely conquer by her merits. "I believe in the elegance of simplicity, in the power of basics, in the strength of color, in the perfection of finishes, but above all I believe in a clothing concept that defines the woman in her own identity." With these convictions, Silvia Tcherassi, Colombia's sophisticated leading designer, has paved a successful path into the current world of international fashion.
