A Mac Duggal one of a kind pageant dress designed for Miss United States 2014, Elizabeth Safrit, was marvelously displayed on the Miss World stage. The Miss World pageant was held in London on December 14, 2014, as billions of viewers watched Miss United States crowned 2nd runner up, Miss World Americas, and the winner of the Multimedia Challenge.
Prior to the Miss World pageant, Elizabeth called upon Mac Duggal's passion to create a truly unique gown fit for the competition. Mac's final design christened "Lal Rani" translation the red queen in Mac's native tongue, took into consideration the style sensibilities of the Miss United States organization and Elizabeth's vision for a unique gown that would embrace the Miss World foundation.
The classic but vibrant red hue of the gown was carefully selected to draw attention to Miss United States 2014 as she crossed the pageant stage. Combining both a timeless color and mermaid silhouette, the body style of the dress flows with Elizabeth's natural athletic build while highlighting her incredible figure. Elizabeth's gown did not feature beading or embellishments, a normal standard in pageant gowns, but instead a more sophisticated couture styling.
Both Mac Duggal and the Miss United States organization are deeply proud of Elizabeth's accomplishments at the Miss World pageant. With a beautifully designed wardrobe throughout her month-long journey, all eyes were on Miss United States as she was crowned in a one of a kind Mac Duggal gown.

The energy and passion he had, even at 75, was like a child. I wanted to be like that.”

SERGIO DAVILA
Fall/Winter 2013 collection, which will be shown on the runway on Thursday, February 7th at 5:00 PM at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, in the Studio venue.
Sergio Davila was inspired by historical, dark and foggy old South American cities like Lima, Peru. He moved to the historical Centre of Lima - near to Plaza San Martin and Chinatown - and lived in a Victorian apartment for 8 months to create this collection. During one of his nights out, Sergio met Concept Artist Alvaro Feliu: Alvaro's vanguardist and eclectic art served as inspiration for Sergio. Additionally, Sergo used the distinguished Peruvian dog - it has no hair and an elegant "mohawk" adorns its head - as well Punks that live in the surroundings of and in Lima, a city with more DNA than all other cities in the world.
All fibers used by Davila, such as Alpaca and Pima Cotton, are 100% organic.
