Manuel De La Cruz presented his Fall 2010 collection this year to a packed audience. Speaking to the designer backstage before the show, we discovered that his collection was influenced by the calendar and culture of the Mayan civilization, with a flourish and nod to his own Guatemalan culture. Some of the fabrics used in the show were directly imported from Guatamala, and radiated bright colors. The designs themselves ranged from the futuristic and tribal to cocktail chic. One piece that stood out in particular was a tuxedo jacket in red with black trimming (sooo mine)! Overall, Mr. De La Cruz put on a beautiful show with elegant clothing! Sooo chic!
