Red Carpet Wedding: Gabriela Perezutti and Austin Hearst

Effortless and elegant: Two adjectives not unfamiliar to Candela designer Gabriela “Gabi” Perezutti. Her line has been described as “ripe with gaucho sway and signs of modern urban life,” the nexus at which both extremes meet through a unique point of view. At least, that’s what Gabi told me when I caught up with her in NYC last week. The native Uruguayan and now West Villager loves the juxtaposition of the rustic with the urban, a blend that has inspired her designs since Candela was born in 2004.
