Rene Acuna

Available

My name is Rene Acuna. I have been a fashion designer for several years and have had an amazing experience doing it. I was Nicky Hilton's Lead Designer for her fashion couture line and have transitioned into styling full time and it has been quite rewarding. I just finished a short film with Producer Patrick Massett (NBC Friday Night lights) and Producer Sean Ryerson (Night Rider) and am also shooting with and shooting with Alexandra Abramczyk. I am very eager and have had a very well rounded experience designing so my transition was easy. I am very passionate and highly creative, I can make a shoe box look wearable.
My love for fashion the ocean and art are what inspire me to continually grow and explore other mediums to polish his skill whether it be designing, Styling or simply taking a photograph!
