The exhibition, presented at the Viviana Puello Gallery in Manhattan, examined t i e s b e t w e e n f a s h i o n a n d internal beauty.

Curated by Viviana Puello, A r t T o u r I n t e r n a t i o n a l Magazine's editor-in-chief, "The Essence Of Beauty" explores how fashion's imagery has influenced women through the years as a way to express their uniqueness.
