Portrait Eyewear was founded by a half-Venezuelan/half-Spanish brother/sister duo, Gabriel and Valentina Hernandez. Portrait features shapes that combine curves and sharped geometrical elements. All features are unique to the brand. A strong identity and design distinction, as inspired by renowned illustrator Nikolai Lutohin and a profound personal admiration of superstar David Bowie.
This new collection brings to life innovative models composed by various shapes in sunglasses and eyeglasses. They experiment with round lenses, cat-eyed and rectangular determined shapes with inlays entirely handcrafted and with original color combinations. They are a must-have staple to complete your chic wardrobe.
This chilly weather may be uninspiring when it comes to planning your outfit each morning. Let’s look back on New York Fashion Week to get some #inspo.
This week, let’s focus on Karina Gamez. Never heard of her? Don’t worry — she’s about to become huge.
Her collection, titled Salto Angel, was inspired by the Angel Falls—one of the highest waterfalls in the world—in her home country. “It is the perfect combination of nature, texture and beauty shaped by the breathtaking Tepuys mountains,” she told Fox News Latino.
You can see aspects of linear architecture and country landscapes in this collection. Her work is a nice communication of cutting-edge stye mixed with functionality.
With high necklines and asymmetric cuts, her line is a modernization of winter chic. Full of knits, leathers, floor-length coats and colorful fur wraps, the line is stylish while giving us perfect outfits to bundle up in this nippy autumn weather we’ve been having.
She somehow brought the jungle feel into her show, filling the large, white space with green lighting and tall potted plants.
“I want the colors — grey-blues, mossy greens, and marsala (wine) tones — to reflect the jungle of Venezuela,” Gamez said.
The non-linear runway felt like a stream, with the models cutting through the crowd, as you can see in the show’s video.
Gamez began her line of clothing, titled KARIGAM, in 2014. Her background in business and fashion design has served her well, building her brand from the ground up.
Gamez created her brand to provide complex and unpredictable clothes for Latinas and cosmopolitans around the world. She is internationally known for her minimal, structured looks and her modern, feminine lines.
Her online shop is coming soon — and we can’t wait!
