Marisol Deluna Presents NYFW S/S 2019 Collection
Preppy Boho Chic Lifestyle Brand Brings Color to 9/11
NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Marisol Deluna showed her colorful Spring/Summer 2019 womenswear collection at Tals Studio in Chelsea. The Marisol Deluna New York label brings color and creativity to September 11th with a New York Fashion Week event. Marisol is a proud New Yorker who in 2001 worked in TriBeCa, lived less than 1000 feet from the World Trade Center, ran from the collapse of the South Tower and lost her best friend Sara Elizabeth Manley in the North Tower.
Reflecting on that morning, Marisol feels fortunate to have survived and determined to make a positive difference. She strongly believes that creativity is a gift meant to be shared and is grateful for the opportunities to do so. In addition to her continued design work, she chairs the Marisol Deluna Foundation, which is dedicated to creative education and inclusion. She chose to present her colorful collection on this date to bring brightness to an otherwise somber day.
Marisol's focus on strength, resilience and rebirth produced 20 looks shown in this presentation in the spirit of renewal and community. Deluna's new collection of apparel and accessories showcases her vibrant and intricate signature prints which are designed by hand. Her contemporary lifestyle brand embodies the spirit of preppy boho chic and highlights her "New York Designed. Texas Made." initiative.
When asked about her New York show this season, Deluna commented, "While 9/11 will always be part of us, I chose to honor the day with beauty. We embraced creativity as part of our healing together. How lovely is that? Every new collection is like springtime for me and I wanted to share that renewal with the city I love."
