PEACE LOVE WORLD EDITOR PREVIEW

Meet Alina Villasante, founder and designer of Peace Love World, this oh so sweet & trendy Cuban is no stranger to fashion. In fact, many would call her Miami-based clothing company a growing sensation.

This past Tuesday, Alina and her team hosted a quaint brunch for a few Miami editors to preview her 2014 Summer & Fall designs — and the Flair Miami gals were there to chat with her and see the gorgeous collection.

How did PLW get started?
I started running a successful aviation business. I did that for a few years, but then I sold it to pursue my t-shirt idea. I wanted to create tees that make people smile, and really, I was just designing clothes that I wanted to wear — hoping other people would want to wear them too. I invested some money into it, and my girls helped me sell about $85,000 in just shirts. Our first store opened here in Miami in 2009 and its been growing since.

Tell us a little bit about the 2014 Spring & Summer line. We saw quite a few new pieces, even some vegan-leather/denim jackets?
Yes, I’m very excited to launch this collection. Since the brand itself has already established a look and a feel that people recognize, we wanted to slowly add some more fashionable pieces and fabrics. You know, we didn’t want to change too quickly… Oh and I love the jean jacket and the dresses that can be worn from day to night.

Alina is a gem! And needless to say, she walks the talk. Her home screamed peace, love & happiness from throw pillows, to wall art, to her joyful personality…

The Summer collection was fun and vibrant. The staple light-weight tees and sweaters had statements like I am Happy, Summer Love, Love Hippie, I am Eternal and my favorite, I love Sundays!

As for the 2014 Fall line, I cannot wait! The mix of fabrics is perfection.

I was instantly wooed by the beautiful white flowy dress and this uh-ma-zing pale pink vegan-leather jacket. <3

Want to rock your own PLW look? Snag your favorite pieces here today and let’s all wear clothes that are both stylish and comfortable.

Miami locals, you can pass by and see their collection at any of these locations. Thanks again Alina, for hosting and for opening your home.

FASHION FOR A CAUSE

Did you know that here in America, 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year? And just this year alone (2013), over 39,000 women lost their lives battling breast cancer? Ready to combine our powers and tackle this battle? Here’s how you can help…

Over 30 South Florida Fashion & Beauty Bloggers have joined forces for the month of October to raise funds for breast cancer.

For this year’s Fashion for a Cause Campaign, bloggers teamed up with Miami brand Peace Love World, we modeled and styled their new breast cancer collection to raise proceeds for Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation. Our goal is to raise funds, honor & encourage all the strong women fighting against breast cancer– because “where there is hope, there is life.”
