Ecliptica

Norein and Michelle Otero make up the eccentric designing duo of this clothing line. It's always fun to work with these charming sisters whose collections have been chosen by the Gen Art Organization to show in Miami and New York. Ecliptica fashion is worn by Roselyn Sanchez, Dayanara Torres, Hilary Duff, Nelly Furtado among others. I personally love Ecliptica's clothes for the simplicity and their modern, dynamic fit. www.eclipticafashion.com
