JAB Spotlight: Patricia Gomez-Gracia
Dear JABBERS: This month, we're shining our spotlight on Patricia Gomez-Gracia, an internationally-acclaimed designer who has taken the fashion world by storm.
Patricia's label, Gomez-Gracia, has caught the eye of A-list celebrities and fashionistas over the past few years. Carrie Underwood, Kim Kardashian, Katie Holmes, Kristen Stewart, Maria Menounos, Giuliana Rancic and Adriana Lima are just a sampling of the big name stars who call on Patricia when they need a look that exudes style and elegance. With training from Alexander McQueen and Julien MacDonald, Patricia launched Gomez-Gracia in 2009 and has already made it on the Top 100 Most Influential Fashion Designers List, landing a spot at number 31!
Raised in Miami and trained in London, Patricia calls her Gomez-Gracia line feminine and refined with an edgy twist, making it perfect for the work-hard, play-hard woman. Her goal is to develop a fashion label that is lasting, with a solid reputation that is respected in the fashion arena. Patricia's exciting collection isn't just for superstars. It is available to JABBERS right here in Miami at Azzuro Boutique of Coral Gables or through her website at www.Gomez-Gracia.com.
A true Miami success story, Patricia is an outstanding designer who is making a name for herself in the high stakes world of fashion. Congratulations on all of your successes, Patricia!
