AOL Latino declared Horatio Nieto as the winner of the second season of Fashionista, the site’s popular online fashion designer contest. Three webisodes highlighting the final challenges for the finalists will be available to consumers starting today at aollatino.com/fashionista.

For Fashionista’s second season, contestants submitted their designs directly on the AOL Latino site. AOL Latino fashion editors selected the top 20 contestants, and, from these, 10 were selected by online user votes to participate in a series of challenges. Three finalists came to New York City for the final challenge, hosted by Venezuelan-born actress and model Patricia Velásquez.

Nieto will create a one-of-a-kind design for Mexican-born actress and model Ana de la Reguera, which she will wear to an upcoming red carpet event.
