Originally from Colombia I came to pursue a career in fashion and now reside in Los Angeles, I currently work as a Design Assistant . As a fashion designer I loves to pay attention to detail, and having a romantic view towards life aiming to portray girlhood and innocence through design , with the desire to go back to when things were more simple and there was a longing for exploration and curiosity . The core of my brand is about transcending the idea of girlhood, removing the negative connotations of what is ‘girly’ by pursuing the unapologetically feminine. Representing the female gaze in a way that removes it form the over-sexualization that is imposed onto woman’s bodies by taking on a romantic perspective on womanhood. taking on youthfulness and fantasy through a romantic lense .
