Beautiful Rita Moreno—winner of an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and a Tony award—was the guest of honor during Chicago Latino Fashion Week, Oct. 27-Nov. 2, which celebrated legendary Latino/a stars of early Hollywood. After being photographed, Moreno stated: 'I miss it! I miss the glamour. There are a few stars today who have that … Gwyneth Paltrow and, in particular, Cate Blanchett, and others. Back then it was the mystery … the allure … today they tell too much; we know too much.'
Chicago Latino Fashion Week, which was produced by Cesar Rolon, was seven glittering days of fashion at numerous venues. Among the events were the International Designers Showcase at the Alhambra Palace, 1240 W. Randolph, that featured creations by local designer Jorge del Busto and the stunning San Juan Fashion Group—which included Puerto Rico's most recognized designers, including Lilian Landron, Felix Poll, Stella Nolasco and Tommie Hernandez—at the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts, 777 N. Green. Text by Steve Starr
