Shout Out to Latino CFDA Winners
As a writer, it's always a little frustrating to see so few Latino surnames on the mastheads. Especially in fashion. But at the Oscars of fashion, CFDA award winners at included two!
Francisco Costa won Womesnswear Designer Of the Year and Candy Pratts Price (whom I never even knew was Puerto Rican) won the Eugenia Sheppard Award, presented by her boss lady, Anna Wintour.
I'm really not trying to play the race card, but as a Hispanic woman, I feel overwhelming joy when I see a Hispanic win such high accolades. It makes me feel like doors aren't as closed as they once were. But then again, the fashion world has always been much more open to anything.

The thing that they remember me is that when the talent is real you don´t need to go praying about your roots. They just come natural when you do your job with creativity and love. Kisses from hell!
I love Candy!

Fully agree with Diablesse!!, when you are a talented person, you don't need to go praying about it....
It's obvious.
Kisses, Sandra.
