Inspired by the wind and sun of her native Chile, Austin fashion designer Teresa Valenzuela-Basa will unveil her Vento e Sole (wind and sun) clothing line at Ballet Austin on March 17th. The clothing line, which features bold, radiant and captivating designs for today’s sophisticated young woman, will mark the coming out party for Valenzuela-Basa as she establishes herself as a premier and emerging designer in the Austin fashion scene. Part of the proceeds from the event will benefit SafePlace and Ballet Austin.
“My need to create beautiful clothing is as strong as my commitment to give back to the community. Fashion design allows me to incorporate these two elements in my life and for that I feel truly privileged,” adds Valenzuela-Basa.
Renowned for her work in jewelry design, Valenzuela-Basa has extended her creative talents into fashion by incorporating movement and light into beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Her work has been featured in Austin Fashion Week, the Texas Emmy Awards and Austin RAWartists.org. Valenzuela is supported by her peers in the fashion industry with Kendra Scott Jewelry, Rae Cosmetics, Ricky Hodge Salon, Roosevelt Couture, and Leonardo D’Almagro. Adding ultimate luxury with speed, Ferrari will have a couple of their vehicles on site. For more details on the event visit: http://vento-e-sole.eventbrite.com/
