I can’t tell you how impressed I was with the Rickie Gonzales “En Paz” Collection for Fall 2010. I was lucky enough to be one of the 100 or so people invited, including R&B singer CeCe Peniston, the 2008 World Raquetball Champion Rhonda Rajisch and my dear friend the fabulous Corbin Chamberlin.  Well, I could probably tell you how much I enjoyed the clothes and the positive energy of the show, but I would rather just show you! Here are my favorite pics from Saturday’s event….

The fabulous Gabrielle

The back of Gabrielle's dress. Love the zipper detail. I'm obsessed with zippers right now.

Love this edgy look. With hair by Luis Solis.

A little drama goes a long way!

These shorts are a great separate. Pair with a jacket and mix it up!

Love this light silver, metallic sweater. Photo by Bill Christ Photography

The “En Paz” runway show last weekend marked the beginning of a little break for Rickie. He’s taking some time off to continue his fashion design education as well as pursue his dream of landing a spot on Bravo TV’s “The Fashion Show.” What a great example – never stop learning, work had to perfect your skills and be brave enough to pursue your dreams.  Good luck Rickie! xo

And Fashion Phoenix would like to say a special thank you to the divine Ms. Tierra Wilson, The Fashion Techie, for the invitation to such a special event.  You are a well-dressed, high-tech angel! xo
