### 2009 Enamorada

In 2009, Felizola released his new spring/summer collection titled Enamorada. Felizola took inspiration on the 1950s Mexican star María Félix. The designer said about this collection:
   "Maria was in love with fashion. She understood that the art of dressing required, like every master's work, unavoidable steps to reach perfection. The cuts and lines that emphasized her waistline and accentuated her silhouette were her trademarks, just like the colors and richness of the garments' textures. Coming into the present time, fine silk gazaar feathers cut in a laborious maneuver, just like flares, embroidery, beading, pleats, French Chantilly lace, and the most exquisite silks embody this collection."

### 2008 Del Cuore

Felizola debuted his Spring/Summer 2008 collection at New York Fashion Week 2008 during a charity luncheon benefiting the AROD Family Foundation, hosted by baseball player of the year, Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia. When asked about this collection, Felizola said:
   "Del Cuore is about the passion of the heart, and this collection is purely from the heart and completely about the passion that a woman has."
