Haute Fashion: Miami Designer Claudiae and Her Spring Collection

Bold romantic styles are not only ideal for spring attire, but perfect for South Florida year round. Miami designer Claudiae just recently launched her spring collection that consists of everything a woman in the tropics can appreciate. Styles like long relaxing maxi dresses, classic capris and jumpsuits all make up Claudiae Spring Collection. The designer introduces a gorgeous silk jumpsuit called the Nina Jumpsuit Silk Charmuse, which is a sophisticated take on such a relaxed style.
For a youthful style clearly influenced by Miami, a long breezy tunic in lime green paired with cropped leggings is fun while staying cool as the temperature starts to heat up. Short printed mini dresses are also ideal for the wardrobe for spring and summer with a pair of colorful flats for Sunday brunch or high heels for cocktails at night.

Nautical stripes were seen on the runway and Claudiae does it right with cute dresses to striped skirts paired with neutral tops. The collection also pairs a black and white stripe poncho with leggings keeping a comfortable style for everyday. Pop a color in it with a pair of yellow wedge heels like Claudiae did to keep the look fresh.
The inspiration behind the fashion includes costume inspired styles with bright colors in soft, wearable fabrics. A strong sense of femininity is prominent in the pieces and understandably why so many women love to wear them. Born in Ecuador and traveled all around the world, only made this designer decide to make Miami her home. She studied in Italy and the Miami International University where she received an Associate degree in Fashion Design.

Claudiae is carried in various boutiques in New York, New Jersey and the Cherry Bomb right here in South Florida. For more information on Claudiae’s collection please visit www.claudiae.com. Email the designer directly at claudiaestradallc@gmail.com to order online.
