We had the good fortune of connecting with Jorge Perez and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jorge, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind our success is consistency and listening to the client. It’s amazing to be extremely creative and have a ton of ideas especially ideas that are different but what brings success is making sure you identify who your client is and you listen to them. Listen and pay attention to their wants and needs and once you do make sure you stay consistent with your vision.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve always been infatuated with fashion and lifestyle. I have a very optimistic mind and I love to share that energy with people, I love to make everything feel and look more glam. I feel it brings people joy and makes them feel positive and accomplished. How do you treat yourself when you feel accomplished? You lounge, relax, enjoy good food and wine so I love to create pieces that make you feel like your best self. A gorgeous flowing silk chiffon kaftan is a piece that glams up any situation in such an effortless and chic way and allows you to showcase an aura of positive and glamorous vibes. We are currently living in hard times and who doesn’t want to feel that way by throwing on one of our silk pieces at any occasion.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I grew up in Miami and it’s one of the best cities in the world. The energy there is like no other. I currently live in Los Angeles but I spend my winters in Miami and every year when I come back I love to see how the city continues to grow. I love to walk over to South Pointe Park for a morning walk along the water and then stop at Smith and Wollensky for lunch, they have the best crab cake and a great wine list. I also love Soho Beach House, it’s one of their best locations with two pools, lot’s of options for food, a great crowed and great service at the beach. The Palace bar is a fun place with live drag shows and always good vibes. Juvia is one my favorite dinner spots with gorgeous views of the city. A new gorgeous spot that has an amazing vibe and food is Mila Restaurant on Meridian. I also love to explore Calle Ocho for some local cuban food and salsa dancing.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to a couple of people who have played a huge role in my success. First I want to start with my old boss Lili, I worked under her for three years at her successful brand Olian, which she founded over 20 years and because of her I was able to really hands on learn and understand how this business works from design and marketing to production and sales. I would also like to give a shoutout to all of my loved ones who in the last 10 years have been extremely supportive in helping, guiding, and supporting everything I’ve done. Without them none of this would of been possible.
