The holiday season brings many wonderful opportunities to get decked out in your finest and treat yourself to an evening of charity, elegance and glamour. Yes, the Gala season is upon us, and La Mode Dallas brings you local designers, Shemara Couture and Oscar Fierro, and what their plans are to have you looking your best this year at the Crystal Charity Ball or possibly the Sounds of the Season Gala. No matter the gala destination, this Christmas and New Years will be filled with luxurious fabrics and flattering silhouettes.
“When I create a gown, my mission is to capture each client’s unique personality into my design. It is important to me that the design and fit are flattering so every woman can feel beautiful and confident in my creation.” –Shemara Jeyarajah
“Go full force! This is the opportunity to live out your dream.” –Oscar Fierro
“I want [my clients] to feel beautiful, confident and comfortable, and know every detail of their gown is done to perfection from the inside out.” –Shemara Jeyarajah
“Silk stretch velvet is the perfect fabric to shape the body of a woman. It has a beautiful, sheen, luxury look.” –Oscar Fierro
“My gowns are loud and eccentric, but life is an experiment and my clients will enjoy the spotlight.” –Oscar Fierro
“I love detail and embellishments such as Swarovski crystals to give an added touch of richness in my designs.” –Shemara Jeyarajah
