A La Moda Magazine Winter 08. The top ten most influential people in Dominican Fashion
A La Moda magazine has created the Top Ten most influential people in Dominican Fashion in 2008. The list praises everyone involved in fashion from models to a journalist, and of course model Arlenis Sosa is included in this list as a model who has broken the mold and has become the most successful Dominican model. Another model on this list is Rene Rodriquez one of the first Dominican male models to go international. Other favorites of mine are designers Gutierrez & Marcano I totally love their style, their collections are always amazing and also stylist Jorge Brown his styling work has been impeccable so far, love it too. This is a great issue with an amazing group of people.
