Couture Fashion week is a celebration of designers from around the world including Egypt, Lebanon, Russia, Romania, Turkey and India  amongst other countries. Having been inspired by his peers, Andres created a line that spoke volumes of praises to both fashion and cultural diversity. “The collection itself, as you saw – it was an extensive collection – represented five destinations around the world – with the idea to show that beauty is found everywhere, whether it be in Asia, in Africa, in Europe or in the Middle East” he said in an interview with NTDTV.   

Aquino incorporated the basic concepts of couture and paired it with fabulously intricate hair,  make-up, jewelry and accessories that left the onlookers in awe. His combination of lines, shapes, colors and textures forged his solitude as an innovative, inspiring couture designer of the world.  With thoughtful design, Andres line was was beyond satisfying and certainly quenching to those thirsty for worldly fashion.  

Most appealing as was his realistic perspective on fashion and life. “The designer may create things but we should not be at the mercy of the designer’s mood. Women should just wear whatever feels comfortable, whatever makes them feel beautiful, any season, anywhere.” (additional photos courtesy of Bob Nittoli)
