Pretty and Powerful

Flavia Cervantes, 20, UF marketing student

Flavia Cervantes caught our eye during Gainesville Fashion Week’s final runway show- pulling off a style that’s deserving of it’s own spotlight. This perfectly tailored dress cinched mid-waist to keep Flavia looking elegant and refined amidst the backstage chaos of a runway show, while its delicate pink coloring belied the powerful force beneath it. As production assistant and model coordinator, Flavia kept things under control with professional polish that reached the face of both her and the show. Classic black heels and a simple strand of pearls show how minimalist accessories can be sophisticated staples, and cropped sleeves serve both form and function for a glamorous girl at work. Flavia’s look proves that a perfect balance between pretty and powerful has a power all its own.
