Adrian Alicea “Unorthodox Romance”
By Sandra Escallón
Designer Adrian Alicea has always been recognized for designing collections that are created out of the box. His designs are magical creations, masterpieces with features for those who are not afraid of taking risks. During New York Fashion Week, Alicea presented his fall/winter 2016-2017 collection named “Unorthodox Romance” at the MIST Harlem Restaurant. The collection is inspired, as the artist told us, by the way New Yorkers dressed during the seventies and eighties, their elegance and the idea of romance.
The evening started with a performance by Yut and The Hot Four, who brought a touch of energy by playing in an incredible way the electric violin. The runway opened with a black dress which has a Gothic and classic style at the same time. From that moment every piece of his collection was magic. Dark colors, hats, coats and dresses with huge hoods were symbol of elegance and sensuality. The makeup was inspired on monkeys, which gave a wild element to the show.
Adrian Alicea closed the show fulfilling the expectations. His friends, who were part of the runway; his fans and those who saw his work for the very first time showed their admiration for his work. All the assistance applauded his work, and Alicea did not have words to express his happiness for all the love around the creation of “Unorthodox Romance” collection. .

Diseñador Adrian Alicea se ha caracterizado por mostrar colecciones que se salen del margen convencional. Sus trabajos son creaciones mágicas, obras de arte con diseños para aquellos que no le temen al riesgo. Durante la semana de La Moda en Nueva York , Alicea presentó su colección Invierno/Otoño 2016-2017 llamada “Unorthodox Romance” en el restaurante MIST en Harlem. La colección está inspirada, como nos contó el artista, en la elegancia de los Neoyorquinos durante los setentas y ochentas y en lo que para él, significa ser romántico.
La noche empezó con una presentación de Yut and The Hot Four, quien le dio a la noche un toque de energía con su increíble manera de tocar el violín eléctrico. El desfile lo abrió con un vestido negro de un estilo gótico y al mismo tiempo clásico. Desde ese momento, cada pieza de su colección transmitía magia. Los colores oscuros, sombreros, abrigos de capuchas grandes y vestidos eran una muestra de elegancia y sensualidad. El maquillaje de los modelos fue inspirado en lo monos, lo que le dio un elemento salvaje al desfile.
El cierre del desfile mostró una vez más el gran trabajo de Adrian. La admiración de todos sus amigos, los cuales también desfilaron sus piezas; de sus seguidores y de aquellos que por primera vez veían su trabajo. Cada uno de ellos aplaudio su trabajo, y Adrian Alicea, como nos dijo, no tenía palabras para agradecer el amor que envolvía la creación de su colección.
