Cari Borja 's tasteful selection and eclectic mix of red, brown, dark olive, orange, gold, violet, burgundy and creams made for a soft, fluid and beautiful collection on the runway.

The colors nicely complemented the types of fabrics chosen e.g. varieties of silk, gauntlet, chiffon, wool, rayon, satin, corduroy and fleece. Although a doctorate degree holder in Anthropology, Cari has never received formal training in design.

Yet, her natural talent is seen with her signature stitching and her ability to design bias cut dresses, on a consistent basis, that encompass most shapes and sizes. The highlight of her collection was the creation of circular and cascading waterfall ruffles in skirts, tops, gowns and jackets, www.cariborja.com .
