Tricia Centenera and Nicole Hernandez-de Los Angeles reflect on their love for Ferragamo, style and the future of fashion
More than its function, fashion has always been a means of expression; dressing up as a means to showcase one’s personality and taste in a way that stands out while also being subtle. For some, a career in this field was something to fall naturally into. “It definitely wasn’t something I ‘set out’ to do,” reflects Tricia Centenera, host and media personality. “Looking at my work over the years, fashion and lifestyle have luckily been part of my natural growth and the way life flowed for me.”
While model and social media influencer Nicole Hernandez-de Los Angeles was always fascinated with fashion, it helped that her mother was already working in the field and exposed her to it when she was younger. “She had a children’s wear export business when I was growing up. Right after college, I enrolled at Parsons in New York and took up a course in fashion design.”

Centenera and Hernandez share the same ethos and infuse their own personality in looks, while staying on top of trends. “Maintaining any one personal voice all boils down to being true to yourself and valuing your own core beliefs,” shares Centenera. “This formula I try to apply to all aspects of life.” In getting inspiration, Hernandez also looks to social media to get a feel of what’s current. “When I produce content, it is based on a lot of the accounts I follow. I try to put together what I see and edit it in such a way that it’s fresh, fun, and current,” she says.
