Hi Petite Fashionistas!
My name is Romi and I'm Fernanda Carneiro's new intern. I'm new to PF but not new to petite fashion. I'm 5'4" and had a really fun time looking through all the other petites mentioned on PF.
Anyways, I'm here to update on some of Fernanda's most recent activities:

In the beginning of October, LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa held a press conference that announced the Fashion Angel Awards Emerging Designer winners in support of LA Fashion Week and the Los Angeles Fashion Industry. The Fashion Angel Awards Emerging Designer is a contest judged by fashion notables like Nony Tochterman of Petro Zillia, Nick Verreos of Fashion Runway, Jeffrey Sebelia (winner of Season 3 Project Runway), Louis Verdad and Vanessa Gonzalez. Designer Randolph Duke presented the award. There were 3 winners, one of which was our very own Fernanda Carneiro! Each winner participated in their own fully-funded runway show in mid-October during Los Angeles Fashion Week.

Check out some of the photos and links from the press conference and runway attached to this post!!
