Here at One Style at a Time we have a special place for the Golden Age of Cinema and Hollywood. We have made no secret of our admiration for vintage fashion and the link with stars such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe etc... The Latin culture had a golden starlet and icon of their own.
Maria de los Angeles Felix Guerena was born in Sonora, Mexico. She was by far one of the most famous, respected and legendary film actresses of the golden era in Mexico and throughout Latin America. She starred in over 47 movies and was known as a Mexican Goddess and Diva. She also was known to be called "Maria Bonita (Pretty Maria), and la Dona", the latter came from her role in the movie, "Dona Barbara" one of her most famous films.
She was known to be a collector of fine antiques and jewelry. In the fashion world she was a regular fixture with Fashion designers such as Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Chanel, Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent designing many gowns for Maria.
Back in March of this year, V Magazine featured model Daria Werbowy in a "Maria Felix" inspired editorial spread. (see photos below)
"We know that an original woman isn’t one that doesn’t imitate anyone but one to which no one can imitate”
