About
An aspiring fashion designer focused on luxury, eclecticism, and storytelling, creating worlds and characters for collections and bringing them to life through draping and deconstruction. Originally born in Caracas, Venezuela, I moved to Miami, Florida, at the age of 10 and haven't been back since. As a designer, I like to think about my background and the cultures I've been exposed to throughout my life as points of reference for collections. Delving deeper, my collections can be a way for me to express pent-up feelings, and creating garments that tell those emotions and stories provide a cathartic experience for both myself and those who connect with my designs. With my garments, I hope to be able to blur the line between art and clothing. I'm interested in seeing how far clothing can be taken to where it becomes an object of art as well as a wearable piece of clothing.
This collection delves into the mythical tale of Sisyphus, as philosophized by Albert Camus, drawing a thought-provoking parallel to the contemporary treadmill of 9-to-5 corporate drudgery. To emancipate oneself from this relentless monotony, our journey takes us to Berlin, Germany, where the establishment known as "Sisyphos" lives. This 24/7 nightlife sanctuary serves as a harmonious counterbalance, affording liberation from the ceaseless grind that constitutes our professional existence. Sharing only a name, this club stands as a catalytic force, orchestrating the rupture from the mythological narrative and, consequently, severing the shackles of perpetual punishment. By amalgamating classical business silhouettes and patterns with the vivacious nocturnal and life of Berlin, our collection undergoes a transformative evolution, presenting an ensemble that exudes both sensuality and professionalism, versatile enough to transition between the pulsating club scene and the austere confines of the office, thereby heralding a departure from conventionality and welcoming the mix of both work and play.
