Cuban-American fashion designer Yas Gonzalez studied fashion design at the Miami University of Art and Design, Earned an Industry Essentials Certification at The New School Parsons, New York City, NY; Journalism and Communications at Florida International University and Broadcasting at Art Institute of Miami. While still in school Yas launched a successful swimwear line that caught the attention of the fashion industry. This initial success is what motivated Yas to officially start her own line and open the doors to House of Yas, where Haute Couture meets Caribbean flair. Behind the doors of her atelier in Miami one can find anything from a dress for brunch, to a red carpet-worthy piece.
