3. INTRODUCTION

Gabriela Alejandra Bruno is a visionary fashion
merchandiser. As a child, her passion began when she used
to watch her older sister combine clothing, colors,
styles, shoes and makeup. Bruno developed a taste for
everything fashion. As she grew up, she began watching
television shows, reading magazines, following her
favorite artists and her vision was mostly focused on the
way they dressed and how they projected themselves
through fashion. Bruno’s mother encouraged her by telling
her that she had the ability to combine garments of
different styles, colors and accessories in a manner that
set her apart from others. Bruno was never monochromatic
and her choice of apparel attracted the attention of
other people. Her friends at school treated her as a
fashion consultant. They would ask for her opinion on
different looks for events. At 16, she studied modeling
in her native, Puerto Rico. She learned about image
projection, posture, social poise, makeup, hair, which in
turn, became her fascination. She began to have interest
in East Asian music and fell in love with their sense of
fashion. Her passion is innate. Bruno’s dreams are to
travel to other countries, delight in their culture and
apply her skills and creativity in the field of fashion.
Bruno is a personal stylist that enjoys working with an
array of people. With passion a pursuit, Bruno will share
her innate abilities of fashion with the world.
