With the rebirth of Spring comes the emergence of a new and freshly vivacious designer known as Nara Paz.
Nara Paz is a South American born but Boston-based designer. She is proud to unveil her newest Spring 2013 Collection with the perfect equilibrium among textures, shapes and colors giving us a modern interpretation of classic silhouettes meant for the chic and sophistically refined woman of today. Paz studied graphic and industrial design which has benefitted her greatly in her design career.
Nara has that talent to enhance a woman’s beauty through her creative energies putting her designs into action in the most splendid ways. She was selected as a finalist for the 15th Annual Fashion Group International Rising Star Awards in January of this year. These awards emphasize the importance of programs that support emerging talent and the reward comes from fortitude, drive, commitment and dedication which are all qualities that this spirited designer possesses.
The inspiration behind the newly born Spring 2013 Collection is lush flora and fauna of the tropically decadent Hawaii. Citrusy lemons, ginger reds and coral pinks stand out against crisp white cottons and white sheer chiffons accented with gold mini-metallic daisy appliqués.
Fabrics that take our breath away are delicate lace and soft lambskin in ladylike pencil skirts, luxurious tailored Metalasse’ Lame’ dresses, jackets and separates; necklines and shoulders are touched with youthful grosgrain. Looking for an outfit that will transition from day to evening in the blink of an eye? The miraculous maxi-jumpsuit in Georgette silk makes it simply effortless and if you are in a more playful mood, slip into the vibrant pink and red Dahlia-print dress with sheer chiffon overlays.
The clothing ranges in price from $345 to $1,955 for one of the most voguish and elegant peplum cocktail dresses you have ever seen. It is no wonder that this collection is labeled “Wonderful World”.
As soon as you lay eyes on all the brightly inspiring pieces, you will want every cultured and charming outfit for your own. The collection can be found in specialty boutiques around the country including ANIK in New York City and online at www.narapaz.com. Keep your gaze on the horizon for the next successful seasonal launch from this shining star known as Nara Paz.
