Nicolas Felizola

This collection was inspired by the magic of music with fashion design. The event was held at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in the city of Miami. The music portion of this beautiful evening was led by the Miami Symphony Orchestra.

Mooi is Felizola's latest collection inspired by Rembrandt and Vermeer. These 17th-century Dutch painter's contributions to art came in a period that historians called the Dutch Golden Age. The result was richly varied handling of paint and deep layers.

Reverence to the world of kinetic movement originated in Paris by great teachers of their time, such as Carlos Cruz Diez and Jesus Soto. They served as foundation and inspiration to Nicolas Felizola. Conceptualizing in their different facets as the artist of the photographic lens, of fashion couture and unique decorative pieces for the home, Felizola offers us his version of the Kinetic movement for the 21st century. Cinetique transports us with its encircling magic lines fused in a focal point to emphasize the delicate female silhouette.

Inspired by the fearless power of seduction of today's modern woman.[3] This collection was held at Miami Fashion Week 2010 (Closing Ceremony).

In 2009, Felizola released his new spring/summer collection titled Enamorada. Felizola took inspiration on the 1950s Mexican star María Félix. The designer said about this collection:

"Maria was in love with fashion. She understood that the art of dressing required, like every master's work, unavoidable steps to reach perfection. The cuts and lines that emphasized her waistline and accentuated her silhouette were her trademarks, just like the colors and richness of the garments' textures. Coming into the present time, fine silk gazaar feathers cut in a laborious maneuver, just like flares, embroidery, beading, pleats, French Chantilly lace, and the most exquisite silks embody this collection."[4]

Felizola debuted his Spring/Summer 2008 collection at New York Fashion Week 2008 during a charity luncheon benefiting the AROD Family Foundation, hosted by baseball player of the year, Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia. When asked about this collection, Felizola said:[5]

"Del Cuore is about the passion of the heart, and this collection is purely from the heart and completely about the passion that a woman has."
