Center Stage is an new section that I will be adding to my blog . I will basically be collaborating with other talents or putting the spotlight on some creative individuals. The first to the stage goes by the name Wilfred Marrero Jr.
Wilfred is an creative director and fashion designer. His portfolio can be found here https://www.wilfredmarrero.com/ as well as some of his previous work. From his innovative pencil sketches to his vast career of over 20 years experience in the Fashion Industry, which was heavily influenced by Theatre Costume Design. He is the epitome of fashion and creativity and what they both stands for.An excerpt from his portfolio sums it up the best way possible”WillieM is a Passionate, Creative, Immersive, Knowledgeable, Visionary, Fashion Designer- Creative Director who thrives for excellence”.
