Every so often fashion is instrumental in helping to unite ideas and to support causes. Venezuelan designer, Nicolas Felizola, was the featured haute couture designer at a posh luncheon which feted some of the supporters of the AROD Family Foundation.

Alex, with wife in tow, schmoozed with invitees and gave a detailed explanation of the foundation, which supports mental wellness, education and quality of life programs for children and families in distress.

Felizola’s collection then took center stage and commanded respect with its modern interpretations of chic. A slim silhouette dominated and tropical colors were the norm. Felizola’s girl is flirty and does not sacrifice any indulgence to get it. However, a lone male outfit appeared out of place on the runway.

Models wore diamonds by Graff and were styled by Paul Labrecque. Sponsors included: Paul Labrecque Salons, Graff Jewelers, Bank of America, and Merrill Lynch. .
