In an exclusive sit-down, Rossario George CEO and designer Tony Vincente opens up about the latest evolution of his luxury fashion and beauty empire—the launch of the Honey Chocolate collection—and his recent standout moment at the NACE Sustainable Fashion Event, where the Uccello Bianca couture gown “Francine” took flight.
Q: Tony, congratulations on the launch of Honey Chocolate! What inspired this latest addition to the Honey Collection?
Tony Vincente: Thank you! Honey Chocolate is all about indulgence. It’s rich, grounded, and unapologetically bold. I wanted to create a tone that evokes warmth and elegance—something that feels like a power move, whether you’re wearing it as a structured blazer or sweeping it across your eyelids. It’s a natural next step in the Honey line after Gold, Red, Peach, and White.
Q: The collection includes both fashion and beauty, correct?
Tony: Absolutely. I believe in full expression—head to toe, inside and out. So with the clothing comes the Honey Chocolate 9-shade eyeshadow palette, which is sultry, blendable, and flattering on every skin tone. It pairs perfectly with the collection’s sleek silhouettes and luxe textures.

Q: You recently participated in the NACE Sustainable Fashion Event. Tell us about that experience.
Tony: It was such an honor to showcase there. We presented key looks from the Honey Peach and Honey Whitecollections—two of my favorites because they reflect our commitment to sustainable elegance. But the moment that truly stole the show was the runway debut of “Francine”, our Uccello Bianca couture gown made with white Italian silk and cruelty-free, naturally molted ostrich feathers.

Q: “Francine” received a lot of buzz. What does she represent for the brand?
Tony: She’s a statement—of freedom, flight, and unapologetic femininity. The Uccello line, which means “bird” in Italian, is about embracing your power and soaring above limits. Francine is that dream realized in motion.
Q: What’s next for Rossario George?
Tony: We’re taking the full Honey + Uccello collections to Phoenix Fashion Week. That includes every Honey tone—Gold, Red, Peach, White, and of course, Chocolate—plus new couture creations from Uccello. It’s going to be a breathtaking showcase of color, texture, and transformation.
Q: Final thoughts for your fans and followers?
Tony: Fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about the story you’re telling. With Rossario George, I want people to feel seen, empowered, and extraordinary. And trust me—what we’re showing next is not to be missed.
