With the intention of introducing Latino images into the mainstream, the collection transcends boundaries and appeals to anyone interested in cutting edge fashion.

“My goal is to dress today’s fashion conscious person for their day at the office or any special occasion” Gregorio Founder, William Lopez said. “My accessories allow him or her to feel the pride and exhibit the beauty of the Latino culture.”

The neckwear reflects the exquisite colors and images of the Latino culture often observed through art, architectural styles and pottery. The collection was inspired by iconic images such as Mexico’s Aztec Eagle Warriors, Lotería and the Virgin of Guadalupe. Each tie and scarf bares a label detailing the history of the symbol used in the design in both English and Spanish connecting whoever wears the piece to its meaning in Latino heritage.

“Neckwear gives you a canvas to tell and share your story,” Lopez said. “It is not about creating a statement that is equivalent to wearing a neon sign, it was about creating a presence in which the person could look in the mirror and just know.”

Featured in Latina Magazine’s 2008 Gift Guide, Gregorio’s premiere line of handmade ties was well-received by many. With the expansion into ladies’ scarves, the newest collection promises to be even more groundbreaking than its predecessor. Purchase Gregorio ties and scarves online at www.GregorioTies.com and specialty retail stores nationwide.

total of more than 1.3 million text and online votes received for the "My Fabulous 15" contest, 14-year-old Los Angeles teen, Briana Spindola has been crowned winner of the Verizon Wireless "My Fabulous 15" contest. She has been awarded a dream-come-true Quinceanera party valued at approximately $45,000. The party package includes:

-- Dinner for 200 guests


-- A formal dress

-- Transportation to and from the party

-- LG enV3 cell phones for Briana and her parents

-- A private, live concert by Mexican pop artist Pee Wee.

"I still can't believe it," said Briana. "There were so many amazing candidates. I am honored to have been chosen. Winning this contest is a dream come true for me and my family!"

A sophomore at Narbonne High School in Harbor City, Briana is an active member of Key Club, which has helped her give back to her community by volunteering at elementary schools, public libraries and hospitals. She is grateful to her parents for the sacrifices they have made to provide a safe environment. This has meant sticking to a strict family budget, which is why winning "My Fabulous Quince" is making Briana's family dream of celebrating her coming of age a reality.

"I found the response overwhelming," said Oscar Madrid, director of marketing for Verizon Wireless. "Almost 3,500 teens from Los Angeles, San Jose/San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver and Kennewick entered to win and more than 1.3 million text message votes and online votes were cast to pick the winner."
