Barrera International Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection Preview J Author: Kim Clerkley Photography: Elizabeth Sostizzo uan Jimenez, designer for Barrera International, once again has created a stunning and alluring fashion collection. Jimenez debuted his 2014 preview collection for Barrera International at the Space Gallery in Denver, Colorado in September of 2013. The presence of art, architecture, and high couture were consistent throughout the entire show. The designs encompassed textiles such as silk, blended wools, and cotton; all of which added to the impeccable design and tailoring of each piece within the show. Barrera International’s 2014 preview presentation was fun, sexy, and futuristic. The collection was a fashion success within itself, but one must take notice of the exceptional hair, make-up, and overall venue that simply added to the presence of the show. DenVhere Magazine is in love with the Juan Jimenez 2014 preview collection. The most noted looks were a long-sleeve, soft pewter, lavender silk blouse paired with a glitzy black and silver sequined straight-lined skirt, showcased with a pair of 5 inch velvet lace up wedges. Further standout looks included a chic and shimmery emerald long-sleeve, knee-length gown, accented with strappy black heels. We can’t forget about the guys! We also discovered Barrera International’s take on the wool jacket for men. The men’s wool jacket looked classic, pragmatic, and stylish. We loved the way the ensemble was constructed. The pairing of the tan cotton shirt with a silver vertical embellishment in the center is genius, as it allows the color pallet to pop. Finally, we also took delight in Juan Jimenez’s ensemble. The designer himself fashioned a polished grey and purple checkered suit, combined with a contrasting grey dress shirt and bright purple tie. Barrera Is Hotter Than Ever!
