Marianne Ondarza
Hello my name is Marianne Ondarza and I am 25-year-old fashion student at the Art Institute of Tampa. I know what everyone must be thinking a typical fashion know it all, Wrong! I just enjoy learning and picking up the latest trends and new styles especially when it comes to bridal fashion and evening wear. I have found much of my fashion inspiration in my field of study through my everyday life and experiences, and have come to realize that I enjoy bridal fashion in particular. I started focusing my fashion career towards the bridal aspect of fashion because I enjoy creating gowns from scratch, giving brides inspiration, and just being able to be a part of a bride’s special day.
When it comes to my bridal inspiration I would have to say Lazaro has been the best bridal designer I know. I hope to one day not only work for a high fashion bridal company, but eventually have my own bridal fashion line.
Now my college life in Tampa I would have to say I try to go out to any place that I haven’t been, whether it’s a new bar, restaurant, or even just a place to shop for latest fashion. Life in Tampa is said to be boring and old fashion but that only if you make it that way, I always try to find somewhere new or entertaining keeping this quote in mind:
“Love the life you live, live the life you love.”<3 Bob Marley
