Belts! Belts! Belts!

At Fashion Week Panama, among her array of casual and evening creations, Nixia will present the newest addition to the Varela LaMar label--belts.  The Varela LaMar collection at Fashion Week Panama will formally introduce the new product line to the public, although some belts are already available in select boutiques.  They are perfect for adding flair and personality to simple wardrobe items!

Costa Rica Fashion Week Collection/¨Chepestyle Interview"/Thank You

Nixia presents her newest   collection at Costa Rica Fashion Week on August 28.  It represents a thematic evolution  of the Fashion Week Panama  collection incorporating similar materials, color schemes and combinations.   

Examples of the themes upon which Nixia will continue to elaborate.
Nixia felt the inspiration for Fashion Week Panama  warranted further exploration.  With continued interest in  elements of cut, fabric and palette, the new Costa Rica Fashion Week collection evidences a preservation of the essential character of the  FWP collection.   

Utilizing predominantely neutral color schemes, Nixia will present  creations of  satin, silk and metallic fabrics.  She has incorporated  stone-bordered mesh as well as sequins into the collection.

Immediately recognizable in the collection is Nixia's design trademark: a  commitment to women who seek simple elegance and versatility.  All pieces lend themselves to combination with one another and to other standard components of women's wardrobes.

In advance of Costa Rica Fashion Week Nixia gave an interview to ChepeStyle Magazine in which she discusses her upcoming collection and shares her observations about fashion in Central America.

(See the complete interview here.)

Nixia is always delighted when a collaborator or colleague earns  deserved recognition.  This week, Erika of Fashion Chalet was kind enough to cover Maggie McTavish, a Varela LaMar FWP model  on her Fashion Chalet Tumblr Site.

The Bags of the Ball


Over the course of the three-day gala,
Fashion Week Panama introduced spectators  to the latest Latin American fashion trends across a spectrum ranging from the funky and  chic to the elegant and fantastical.  Surrounded by the gorgeous, the glamorous and the outrageous it was overwhelming trying to assimilate so much spectacle, impossible to appreciate single features or individual creations.  It was the sensory overload everyone hoped to savor.

However, as bold evening collections garnered so much audience attention, awing them with exquisite  gown designs in brilliant color schemes,  the contributions of subtler details were easily overlooked and deserve special mention now.  

Having received so much attention for her "Clutch Bags", both within and outside of Panama, Nixia Varela LaMar was determined  her bags would play an integral role in her Fashion Week Panama collection.  

In the gallery below, it  is clear why Nixia made  the creative  choice to include her Varela LaMar clutch bags.  They made a significant thematic contribution to the collection, augmenting the impact of each Varela LaMar piece with which they appeared.  

Each FWP Varela LaMar clutch bag was handmade for the occasion and coordinated to complement attire in color,  fabric and texture as well as in character and personality.
