aking into account the great city of New York and not set aside to Mi-ami are the major powers when it comes to fashion in the United States; taking out all these taboos that differ with ours, either Clear-water, Tampa, etc. , we can say that we have many similarities, we have beaches, beautiful women (Latin, American, of all countries), we have good fashion designers, because each year the universi-ties put more enphazis the cur-rent fashion, to be updated on a daily basis in the tools to be a good designer and able to com-pete with the great masters, which undoubtedly will say that women may enjoy the ranges of sensual colors and styles that we see in

I can say that over the creation of VOCESS; has been able to meet peo-ple with a lot of talent (photographers, models, make-up artists, design-ers, etc..) Which at the time of collaborating in the magazine, taking into account since the beginning of its creation people like Donna Crowley (Shareholder), with effort and sacrifice has been in the struggle to give our readers this magazine and for which it has been possible to put an identity, but like everyone has their dispute, have also crossed into our way “talented people” who wanted to destroy our reputation, or better still, your magazine, but thanks to the help of God we managed to fight

every closet of every woman. The idea of this new magazine is opening to give all new designers a support since each day there are more designers without who can guide them, and be consistent with the cruel fate that may be the time to

belittle the young talent, and VOCESS was created for fashion designers who hope one chance in life, to show their talent, and that the only thing they do is satisfy us, with styles and colors, and thanks to them we can shine impeccable at a party you have to or when your friends have a

reunion with your business partners, or leave a romantic dinner with your partner.

With a group full of creative talent and undoubtedly full of desire to succeed and give a new magazine model by which all of you loyal readers our future, can enjoy lying in bed, a comfortable sofa, with your “friend” of your partner or in your “free-time” , at the hour of work when you should take a “break”.

“ The fate can be cruel, but it is more cruel if you not dare”

and continue on the path of victory. And now we can say that this magazine will have the purpose of demonstrating the talent that the name of our magazine, not silence the voices “VOCESS” talent either Latin, American or Europe; it must be emphasized that VOCESS, aims to contribute Internationally and locally, people with diabetes early, “Meche Foundation” and do not have the information or money to pay for their medications or a wheelchair, which is why it was thought that each edition of the month, there will be a Fashion Show with designers who will be a monthly in YOUR magazine.

Giving a welcome to your new magazine fashion and most of all thanking God that managed to put on my way to the right people, my parents and brother (Franklin Orellana, Franklin Jr. Orellana. Elsy Arroba), with tips and a desire to fight not to let down our arms, and especially my wife (Digna Sanyer Orellana Vice-President) that despite our distance, that desired, that she has given me to achieve my goals and strength, “I love you”, and Finally thanks Ramsel Agui-lar, MarK Powell and his wife, Mario Gomez, Tati Pastor, my in-laws (Marcos Sanyer, Mercedes Sanyer), “Roberto Hernandez”, “Brandon Pierre”, and many more, always will bear in mind.

This magazine is dedicated to my little brother “my puppie” COKITO, from heaven, must be moving his tail “I love you”,

and my friends Milton “JEFFER-SON University” and Beatriz

“CEM’s friends”, whose departure is the beginning of a new life and as I have always said you never ceases to exist, because they live in the hearts and memories of our loved ones.

“BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU CAN. DO W H A T E V E R M A K E S Y O U H A P P Y EVEN IF SOME DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR WORK”.

Interviewer: Mario Gomez, you have been involved with fashion most of your life. Tell me, how did you come to get involved in fashion?Mario Gomez: Fashion is part of my family. In fact, I am related to three generations of designers in Venezu-ela. When I was younger, I started to study dentistry, but ended up working in fashion because I was needed in my family’s business. I learned a great deal from my family, but extended my studies in Venezuela and Switzerland. I moved to Tampa several years ago and started my business in this county.How does the fashion business differ in the U.S. compared to Venezuela?In Venezuela, I lived in Caracas where there are many more fashion activies such as pageants, and there is a great-er interest in desinger fashion in the general public. In the U.S., consumers are more interested in buying clothes off the rack. Consomers here do not give the time for hand crafted work or pay for the craftsmanship.What about fashion in the U.S.? Much of the influence of fashion comes from Europe, especially France

and Italy where there is a great focus on color and style. The American de-signers tend to have simpler designs.What about Florida? Does Florida have a place in the international fashion world?Florida has one of the best academies of design in Tampa. As a result of this, there are many local fash-ion designers who have tremendous talent. Of course, Miami also is a sig-nificant center of fashion—especially during fashion week.Tell us about your work? How would you char-acterize your fashion vision?All of my work is custom made. Thus, I work with a client to find out exactly what they want. I adapt my work to the client and the event. This allows me to be creative, whether I am working on a pageant ensemble or a wed-ding gown.What is the inspiration for this collection?The collection will be influ-enced by the fashions of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Of course, I will work with silk and the fo-cus will be on A-line, bias cuts, and vibrant tropical colors. I will use some linen and patent leather as well. The design is influenced by the weather in Florida. The collection will be beautiful, but comfortable.

karenWolstein

to embellish clothes, shoes, belts, pens, sunglasses, furniture, and even wheels on a car. Karen hasdone work for entertainers and athletes, blinging their outfits - be it a dress or a sweat suit. She has ‘blinged’ the MMA WFC ring girls’ outfits, as well as kids skating outfits and bodybuilding suits. She has just started a men’s line called Dr. BonesWare. She will bling one item or many,even if it will be with one stone or ten thousand.

by: Xavier Orellana

Dr. Karen Wolstein was born in New York, but has resided in Dunedin, Florida since 1970. She went to Florida State University where she received her bachelors degree in Business Marketing and Management, as well as a masters degree in Sports Medicine. She attended chiropractic school at Life College in Atlanta and has been practicing as a chiropractic physician since 1993. Karen initially went to Florida State University to study fashion design because she loved fash-ion. What girl doesn’t? When she got pregnant in 2004, she began ‘blinging’ her pregnancy outfits.

As soon as her daughter, Kayla, was born, ‘blinging’ became

a hobby turned busi-ness - Crystal Time. Her

inspirations are want-ing to be shiny and

sparkly. Seems like everyone loves the shiny and sparkly bling. Swarovski crystals are used

t all started on February 5, 1982 in Jacksonville, FL., when she was born. I guess her mother knew at that moment that she was different because she named her Shanikki (pronounced Sha-nee-k-a). She learned fashion at an early age overlooking her grandmother make custom cloth-ing. So it was just something that grew with her as she got older, at the age of 12 Shanikki decided she wanted to be a Fashion De-signer, she would draw sketches of clothing on sheets of paper and dream of making clothing for stars. During high school she applied for fashion colleges in the area and was accepted at The International Academy of Design and Technology of Tampa. Soon after graduation she moved on her own to Tampa, Florida to pur-sue a career in Fashion Design. During her time away from home she was focused and obtained not only the Associates Degree that was initially planned but also a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design and Marketing in March 2005. After graduation she was confident that she would someday

own her own business, but she didn’t know where to start, so she started making cloth-ing for friends then eventually made cloth-ing for bikini bars. After a few photoshoots with models featuring custom-made clothing, Shanikki grew an interest in designing swim-wear. Models saw her work and loved how she could make custom swimwear to fit all different shapes and sizes, also being one of a kind and unique. With that being said she had to create a name for her line so she named it Lu’Jeanik (pronounced La-Jeah-neek). (Lu) dedicated to her mother (Jean) dedicated to her late grandmother and (nik) dedicated to herself to tie in a name that not only says “unique” but 3 different women who are strong, fashion forward and inspiring to others. Until this day she continues to strive to the top and make swimwear that everyone “unique” can enjoy!

hown is the collection called “Pieces” inspired by the sexy, sophisicated women who is bound to make a statement; no matter where she goes. The exclusive pieces shown are made in house and not manufactured. Prices vary from $65 and up depending

on style and detail. Custom orders are available for the more flattering figure. These couture pieces and our new collections

”MY INSPIRAT ION FOR EVERY COLLECT ION IS “COMFORT”

CecceBythewood

ece Bythewood, a Tampa Native has been admi- ring shoes for as long as she can remember. Upon graduation from the University of Florida with a degree in Market-ing she set her sights on a career in Retail Marketing/Management. Long work hours and undesirable holiday schedules dampened the shoe retail glamour. Corpo-rate America quickly became a more lucrative option, although she still longed for the creativity and freedom that a career in fashion

can often afford. Thus, the shoe design bug had officially bitten. As a stepping-stone to the Shoe Design Field, Cece took a slight detour and opened a Full Service Salon. “Cece’s Hair Party” was featured on ESPN and CNN Sports in 1999 as the Hot-test Spot for haircuts for Professional Athletes in the Tampa Bay Area. The success in this area gave Cece the courage to step out into the glorious abyss of Shoe Design. Several years later, follow-ing full-time motherhood,

it was time to give Shoe Design the “old college try”. Cece attended and audited a high fashion cob-bler’s class at the Moda Shoe Institute located in Vipitino, Italy. Upon completion, she began shopping her originals in January of 2007, officially launching her first designs through Sergio Zelcer and Dans Sara shoe manufactur-ers. This has been an excellent

genesis for Cece and she is currently working on her 2009

originals to be done in col-laboration with Merlo Italian Fashion Brand of Milan. Her inspiration for every collec-tion is “comfort and style get married…..and they live

happily ever after.” Her current Winter Collec-

tion, appropriately

called the “Walk in Peace” Col-

lection, is due out in October of

2008. Please go to www.Cecelia-

bythewood.com for information

on the Winter Collection Show as

well as Exclusive “Invitation Only”

Purchase Party. Space is limited so

please register early.

I have been doing modeling for about 2 years and basically all my childhood and teenagehood i did lots of prints tv comerctials since the age of 5What advice would you give to others who are starting modeling and want to receive job offers?First of all be confident and be full of positivisim, because they can feel you how full of energy you are and never think you cannot do modeling be-cause of your looks or any other reason, model-ing is what is all about different looks, difirrent shapes, etc and i belive there is always place for everyone as long as you are willing to follow the rules and have the discipline that they might required foe instance, beeing healthy etc..be prepare for any obstacle may cross in you way, always it is important to find guidence with the right people and the most important to believe in yourself.

What is your favorite fashion magazine?I more than one cosmopolitan, vanidades, vogue,seventeen magazine, elle and any fashion local magazion yes i love fashion.What is your brand or designers clothes?Miss sixty, zara, mango, armani exchange, guess, victorias secret, jlo clothing line, die-sel, and a full list of hispanic local design-ers in miami, fl high brand names:dolce and cabbana, roberto cavalli, dior, mo-schino, giorgio armani.What is your big dream?

Interviewer: Why do you like to be a model?Ramsel Aguilar: Because is a way of expressing yourself with fashion, art, beauty, culture, etc, and you can meet famous designers and learn from them, i also feel that the more i involve my self with modeling the more i learn to take care of myself as drinks lots of water have my 8 hours of sleep be healthy etc that enriches my persona innmy exte-rior and enricheses it in my interior aswell of life motivation to rich my goals. also being a model i can express myself to other women out there who may think they cannot be models for the way they look etc i think everywomen is beautiful and there is always place for everyone with different shapes, differents cul-tures etc in fact i think that model-ing is what is all about. How many years have you worked as a model?at what age did you start?

“Beauty has to have a purposenot just to show your body as an elemet”

interviewMy biggest dream is to have my own clothing line, my own fashion magazine and my tv production company that i can produce ,direct fashion events, and still be a mod-el at no matter what age i get.

Is it hard to be model? did you work hard to be where

you are?I will say it not easy ‘cause requi-

ers lots of discipline, reliabilty and you need to be able to study in what your field in the model-ing world it is going to be for you besides there might be many people out there who may be against it and you need be able to face it and

keep on going andyes i did i think for every

model to be where they are has been worked

hard enough because it is non stop job and every day it is a new start in anything that your do with

modeling also go-ing to casting, do-

ing photoshoots etc requiers lots

of time What has

workd well known

brands?Kodak, Pepsi,

Cocolla , Paulmitchell,

local designers.If you had the opportunity to promote you country wich will you emphazies and why?In fashion because there is a demand on american fashion designers, all we hear is about european designers

etc.. so i think that will be a good target because we have treame-andous talented designers in america and along with models we have lots of different mixes in america that have created a beautifull combination of different types of model that ar not neces-sary like the ones the look on a high fashion magazine. How do find the role of a women in your country at this moment?Some one who emigrate this country with lots of dreams and is here for many reasons and a purpose that no one would let me stop to achive my goals How has your family influence your life?They are the reason why i am doing what im doing, specially my dad he was a tv procucer, art director and graphic designer so during my childhood he had me and my brothers doing lots of work and prints and tv commer-tials also he would always direct us and explaind us every single aspect in how to do media for example he would tell us all the tricks behind the sence etc.. that i growp seeing my dad an ex-ample in the media and gave the a good impression in anything related with tv fashion etc that now relates to me.If you had the opporunity to full fill a dream for your country at this moment why would it be and why?To be part of a well known mag-azine as a model, coordinator and to have my own tv produc-tion company with my brothers that are also involve with media and produce a tv production company in my home country.
