WHAT: Last night, Latin American Fashion Awards, the unprecedented fashion event founded by the two bona fide Latin American fashion legends Constanza Etro and Silvia, hosted an exclusive opening night cocktail at the historic private Villa of Oscar de la Renta to kick-off the Award celebrations to celebrate and promote Latin American fashion. Top fashion industry members and celebrities from all over the world traveled with style and excitement to the Dominican Republic for this one-of-a-kind experience, alongside heavyweights, designers, tycoons and socialites from all regions of Latin America.

The co-founders Constanza Etro and Silvia Argüello welcomed the +300 notable guests as they gathered to celebrate the unprecedented event, which will culminate with the highly anticipated Awards Ceremony on Saturday, November 4th.
