She's the Uruguayan designer and former model whose South American influence and gaucho style bearings add to her line's eclectic and easy appeal. Uinterview caught up with Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti minutes before her presentation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Q: Tell us a little about your show today and how it compares to past seasons. - Uinterview User
A: The main inspiration behind the show was the Gold Rush Era in California. Basically, it is a little darker than our usual Candela collections, but you still see a lot of colors coming out. There are some deep purples, some greens, and dark blues. So there is still color, but slightly darker than usual.
Q: Did you have a main inspiration for the season? - Uinterview User
A: The main focus was the Gold Rush Era in California... I come from Uruguay in South America and we have a family farm there and it [the Gold Rush Era] is the same time that my great grandfather came from the south and we are still there.
Q: Do you have any favorite pieces that we should look out for? - Uinterview User
A: I love all [of] the collection, and it doesn’t usually happen, but I am very excited by all the pieces. But I would say the loafer velvet shoes are kind of hot.
Q: We know that you used to be a model and even appeared in Italian Vogue. What is your feeling now, as a designer, since you've seen fashion week happen from both perspectives? - Uinterview User
A: I’ve worked as a model when I was younger, I worked in a showroom doing sales, and I also did designs, so I have worked in all the different areas. It’s all about creating a sense of illusion — an image. So it is great and it’s entertaining.
Q: Do you feel for the models when you see them? - Uinterview User
A: Oh yes I do, tremendously. The casting, looking at the pictures... there’s a lot of rejection being a model.
