Ready for his close up!Columbian born fashion designer Edwing D'Angelo burst onto the scene in 2002 and in just six years has become a fashion force in the industry. He's dressed such celebs as Patti LaBelle, Vivica A. Fox, Monique, Miri Ben-Ari, Nelly and Sean Paul and has produced three fabulous collections for New York Fashion Week.
A recovering attorney, D'Angelo got his start moonlighting as a stylist on photo and video shoots and producing pageants while working full-time as an immigration lawyer. It wasn’t until he designed a prom dress for his younger sister that his destiny began to take shape. The gown was such a hit amongst his sister’s friends that he ended up making 32 in all!
D'Angelo has since opened up a SOHO boutique and continues to be in high demand for classic design with a Latin flair. Not only has he served as fashion consultant for the BET Awards and Univision but he's also been praised by Women’s Wear Daily, Essence, The New York Post, Bride’s Noir and Latina magazine. One of his creations was even featured in “The Devil Wears Prada” (the yellow, floral dress that Daniel Sunjata’s character shows to Miranda Priestly).
D'Angelo is definitely one to watch...and luckily I have been invited to view his Fall 2008 Collection, "Awakening" during Fashion Week! Look out for my full review February 4th...
