Today we’d like to introduce you to Paola Estefania.
Hi Paola, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am a Venezuelan- born, highly sought-after haute couture designer. I create one of a kind, custom garments for VIP clients and A-list celebrities such as Will Smith, Avril Lavigne, Winnie Harlow and much more. With a background in both textiles and interior and architectural design, my eye for fashion and emerging trends is truly unique. My collections have been featured in New York Fashion Week, Miami Swim Week, and Miami Bridal Week. These collections feature a range of styles, from classic to contemporary, with my signature style of sophistication and quintessential elegance.
I am an activate philanthropist, my nonprofit Your Guardian Angel Foundation is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families in need. We believe that everyone deserves access to essential resources that promote health, education, and well-being. Through our various programs and initiatives, we strive to alleviate the challenges faced by low-income communities. One of our primary missions is to provide assistance to families in need, by donating food, over the counter medicine, and clothing. We partner with other organizations to organize food drives, toy drives, and other charitable events to supply essential goods to those in need.
We founded the Mother and Women Awards. We celebrate, honor, and elevate women and mothers who have triumphed over adversity through our annual award ceremony, providing a day that is truly deserving for these women, We provide donations to nonprofits that serve and uplift women in vulnerable communities. We also curate an elaborate upscale event, to honor our awardees, and invite their families to celebrate these very deserving women.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
There are many obstacles one faces as a minority Latina in such a competitive industry. But I have always been very resilient and hard working. I have deep values and high work ethic. This has allowed me to build strong relationships within my industry with high accomplished individuals. I have been blessed to work with many talented latino cut and sewers, who have taught me everything I know. Through out the years I have been able to perfect my craft and overcome many challenges.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have a very sophisticated, bold, and feminine style. I hand make custom pieces for my clients. My designs include Bridal couture, evening wear, ready-to-wear, luxury swimwear, and bespoke garments. I have collaborated with world renown publications like Forbes, Vogue Ukraine, Vogue Mexico, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, L’OFFICIEL Arabia, L’OFFICIEL India, L’OFFICIAL Brazil, TMRW Magazine, Playboy, Maxim, and Sports illustrated, and many more. Seen my work featured in some of world’s most iconic red carpets and the most important magazines has been my greatest accomplishment.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I have always been an extrovert, never afraid of anything. Very opinionated with things i’m passionate about, and determined. Loved to be outspoken and fearless.
