| Introduction | With its inspiration from the natural beauty and color palettes surrounding the Amazon, Castro's first collection (Spring 2007) was named Amazonia. Media attention soon followed with coverage in highly respected fashion publications such as Women's Wear Daily and Vogue. The fashion industry further recognized Castro's talent; in 2007 Gen Art presented Adriana with the Fresh Faces in Fashion Award for Accessory Design. In June 2009, Adriana received the Independent Handbag Designer Award for "Audience Fan Favorite." Adriana Castro was invited as a guest of honor to present a fashion show for the 20th International Footwear and Leather Show. In December 2010, Adriana received the Handbago Award for "Best Designer of the Year." Most recently, Adriana was nominated for The Fashion Group International Rising Star Award. Castro's bags are loved and carried by celebrities and fashion influencers including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Audrina Patridge. Five Adriana Castro Bags were featured in the movie Sex and the City 2. The genuine, exotic collection is available exclusively at specialty retailers worldwide. |
