As a young designer and fashion enthusiast, Gabrielle Arruda moved from Chicago to New York to soak up the knowledge and history of fashion in the city. After graduating from Parsons The New School for Design and working for various designers, she chose to launch her career in fashion with her debut Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
Wind is an element of the Earth that is often forgotten for its power and the energy it can create. Wind is the driving inspiration for Gabrielle Arruda's debut Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The collection takes on the physical characteristics of wind and its ability to create energy for rural farms. Her initial collection stands as her emergence into the fashion world as a modern designer.
What makes her collection stand apart from other designers you ask? Having a fully functional line of clothing made in the USA is one of facets she proudly represents. For Gabrielle Arruda, the point was to provide well designed high fashion garments without sacrificing quality.
The Spring/Summer 2014 was named "Energy" for the winds powerful method to create energy. To bring this idea to life the designer used lightweight fabric while keep her ideal woman/customer in mind. The collection featured pieces in varying shades of white and a play on silhouettes. The silhouettes within the garments create a modern sensuality while remaining classic and tasteful.
To create character within the collection, necklines play a distinct role in providing sophistication. Another contribution to the character of the collection is the use of fabrics and the design of pants, skirts, shorts and dresses. To create a comfortable flow to each individual garment, fabrics like cotton, linen and silk were used for their lightweight yet classic feel.
The "Energy" collection carries everything from evening dresses and gowns to shorts and pants suits. Since the modern woman is constantly in motion, Arruda used that concept as she approached each garment individually. The fabrics and appeal of the design create a light flow and movement when the garment is worn. A stand out piece found within the collection is a top that features a silk chiffon neck piece that draws you in. The piece is paired with a short short to add to the dramatic effect from the neck piece. Other items in the collection are paired with light jackets, coats and vests to bring the collection together.
Aside from her debut collection, Gabrielle Arruda is also focusing her time on other projects. As a contributor to the community and avid believer of women's rights in the workplace, she has promised part of the proceeds from an item in her collection toward a charity that celebrates women empowerment. She has also been working on a logo pin to raise money for breast cancer research.
Looking forward to her next collection, Gabrielle Arruda is putting the final touches on her Fall/Winter collection before debuting it in early 2014. To connect with fashion lovers she has shared designs and daily inspirations on social media platforms like Facebook Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.
