The vision was no other than singer/songwriter/actress, Cecilia. A native of Rome, Italy, the illustrious beauty donned an Aquino creation that transformed her into a reverie that fluttered along the catwalk. His sheer dress undulated in the air like the wings of butterfly as Cecilia’s performance turned into an apparition with the smooth crispness of her voice and her natural choreography.

Her petite silhouette and long curly hair altered in front of our very eyes into the delicate butterfly she sung about: “Le Papillion.” The song is from her eponymous jazz album (released in 2009) which contains a compilation of seductive songs by the songstress.

“I chose her because of her sensual voice,” commented Aquino. “Fashion and theatrics are always part of my show and I felt she complimented it perfectly” Cecilia, being a veteran of stages and studios, couldn’t agree more to grouping fashion with music. “I feel that clothes and music are the same,” she explains, “they are both a mode of transformation.” In fact, her whole album revolves around the beauty innate in metamorphosis. “Everything beautiful starts as an embryo and then slowly grows into a living being.”
