Olga Alicea and Hector Musse are not simply fashion designers.

With Olga’s 30 years of experience and Hector’s 10 years of experience, together the pair creates art. At Couture Fashion Week, they will present their latest collection entitled “Essence of Glamour”, inspired by the floral essences and elegance of their beautiful native island of Puerto Rico. Special guest model during the fashion show will be Dalila Zapata, an exceptional young woman with Down’s Syndrome. Dalila is an award-winning model, makeup artist and TV personality, and has received accolades from the Governor and First Lady of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Secretary of Education, and the University of Puerto Rico, among others. She has modeled for many important designers including Paola Victoria, Michelle Ann, Mel Duran, Jackie Tejada and Marcos Carrazana.

Hector Musse’s interest in fashion design began at a young age, and he was encouraged and mentored by his mother. He learned to unleash his imagination to conceptualize and draw what would eventually become the reality of the dream of every woman: to dress and feel like a queen. Mr. Musse studied fashion, accessory and jewelry design at the Academia D’Elegant in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. In 2004 he was the recipient of the Kermesse de la Moda award in San Juan.  In 2009 fulfilled his goal of studying at the prestigious academy of Lisa Thon, where he was awarded for his work. Hector Musse believes that fashion should be designed and adapted to the personality of each woman, and so each of his designs is unique and unrepeated. He has an atelier in the city of San Germán, Puerto Rico.
