She survived the NBC reality competition Fashion Star — and now she’s on the style map. Aventura resident Luciana Scarabello
will be at Haven on Lincoln Road 7-11 p.m. Sunday to showcase her new
collection (she also designed the waitstaff’s uniforms). The Argentine
native chatted with us about what makes her eponymous label tick:
How would you describe your line?
It’s young and fun. It is Online shoes catered for women who are going on a date, to a dinner party, to a lounge, a bar, a club — or just out and about to have fun. I listen carefully to these women to better understand them, because they are my inspiration and I am designing for them to feel special and beautiful.
How was your experience on “ Fashion Star?”
Great.
Sure, it was very nerve-wracking, and there was a lot of pressure, but
it’s not every day that a designer has the attention of large-scale
retailers to look at your designs and providing feedback to help you
grow into a national brand. It has helped me reach a dream – my designs
are now available in Saks, Macy’s and H&M. The connection with the
public is also very exciting, because consumers now know about me and my
designs and give me their feedback on a daily basis.
How was working with Nicole Prada Sunglass Richie and Jessica Simpson?
They are both very accomplished individuals and have very successful businesses in the fashion industry. Jessica is the girl next door that always cheers you on and has a very kind heart. I have not seen Jessica’s baby yet, but she looks adorable in the pictures! I’m sure she will make a great mom. Nicole was a little bit tougher, but it was actually very helpful because in a competition that intense you want someone that pushes you.
Who are your favorite designers?
I really admire designers that create beautiful garments with attention to detail, like Valentino, as well as those that push the limit and try to break ground for new ideas, like Alexander McQueen.
What celebs have the best style?
I
like the ones that dress very elegantly, but aren’t afraid to take a
chance and push the envelope. Lately, I am obsessed with everything Mara Rooney
wears on the red carpet. She always looks so sharp, and the designs are
minimalistic and sophisticated yet innovative and fresh.
Is there anything you would buy shoes online never toss from your closet?
I love my black pashmina, because it always saves me when it gets a little chilly and I don’t have the right jacket.
What is something every Miami girl should own?
Jewelry and accessories. You can wear something very plain and complement it with some great earrings, a necklace and a belt. It can really help to make an outfit.
