Recently I have had the pleasure of meeting the extremely talented Michelle Aquino. Michelle is the designer and master seamstress of her line, M Dot Design Studio. Her take on the industry is not only unique but extremely focused and driven. Her New York background makes Michelle a step ahead of the average San Diego designer.

Last month, I attended her preview event at the W Hotel's Rooftop Beach Bar. The night was gorgeous, and the clothes were even better! The models all clearly enjoyed rocking their outfits, and rumors indicate that they ended up buying them. Less than surprising...
Michelle's style is extremely clean and sensible. It was impossible to watch her show and not covet every last item! This year, M Dot's mood stems from breathtaking Filipino street fashion. See her blog for some brilliant references-I guarantee you'll feel inspired!
This week, I'm excited to style Michelle's line and represent Mahal Style for a 3-model shoot at the W Hotel. Check back in for some gorgeous ladies and behind-the-scene shots! Between the talent and the gear, I bet it will be worth your while.
