ABOUT RENE RUIZ:
Rene Ruiz has always had a love affair with fashion. Growing up in Cuba, he escaped
the realities of life there by watching classic films from Hollywood’s Golden
Age. “I drew my inspiration from the fashions worn by some of Hollywood’s most
glamorous stars such as Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant and
Gary Cooper,” said Ruiz.
Ruiz
carried his love of fashion to Miami where he came to study architecture
however, he continued to be seduced by the fashion world graduating from the
Miami International Fine Arts College.
Ruiz
honed his skills with apprenticeships in Florence, Italy. In 1992, he opened his
Coral Gables atelier where he quickly became a fashion force with socialites and
celebrities. The 5,000-square-foot flagship store is home to a talented team who
ensure that the product that is made in America continues to be one of Ruiz’s
proudest accomplishments, and that every detail receives careful scrutiny. With
endless rolls of luxurious fabrics and textures at their fingertips, Ruiz and
his team have cultivated a very sophisticated and loyal following.
In
recent years, Ruiz has truly gone International, showing his collection at
market during Fashion Week in New York as well as in Paris. His exquisite
eveningwear collection can now be acquired in high-end specialty stores and
retailers around the world, including New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Toronto,
