LOVE STORIES, LIKE FAIRYTALES, ARE ABOUT UNION. AND SEX, LIKE CREATIVITY, IS ABOUT GENESIS.
Ever since Audrey Hepburn and Hubert De Givenchy spawned their iconic collaboration for the 1954 film Sabrina, designers and starlets have been pairing up to give life to the public through the merging of their shared fantasies. The relationship between Amarilla Diosa and Louis Durantes of LEAK NYC not only speaks to this lineage, but to the binding ties of culture embedded in New York City’s social landscape. Amarilla a bonafide showgirl, exclusive companion, and creative visionary, and LEAK, a modern cult classic designer who is reinventing knitwear for today’s vixens come together this season for a visual and verbal kiki on their Central American roots, the power of clothing as a means for affirmation and transformation, and how honoring family and building community is the cornerstone of success and satisfaction in life.
