Meet the Characters

Cecilia

She is a preppy and go-getter fashionista. She learned sewing from her mom and has honed her craft. However, with bills to pay it seems like a pipe dream, but she doesn’t give up. She walks dogs for a living and does what she can to create her ideal couture. When she spots a missing dog without an owner she puts one of her fashion-made leashes on it and searches for the owner. Little did she know the cute guy she meets will be the guide to a networking opportunity.

Nico

He is working for his dad’s company and is sick of it. There is more to life that he can discover and do. With his sister being a very famous model and celebrity of sorts, it’s hard to trust people. When he accidentally loses Isabella’s dog, Serafina, he goes on a chase with flyers and a promising reward. At first, he thinks Cecilia knew about the money and was dog napping, but soon he realizes she isn’t a materialist and wants to pursue a career in fashion. Can he make amends and kindle a friendship?

Isabella

Her goal is to get her new animal charity foundation up and running. She adores her dog, Serafina, so much and gets anxious when she’s away, but she can rely on her assistant Hugo and her brother Nico to take care of her. When she comes back home she didn’t expect to find a brand-new collar for her pet. Determined, she wants to know the designer who created such a piece and wants to have her create a clothing line for her and her dog.

Hugo

He is Isabella’s overworked assistant and is all things fashion while also being with Isabella 24/7. He can navigate and find any designer in the world, but is stumped when he couldn’t figure out the fashionable collar on Serafina. However, he soon has to venture and discover this new artist in the making. He cares about Isabella and will go beyond the call of duty to help her with her dreams.
