Ernesto Hinojosa Young Designer of the Year 2013 in Finland Every year we sponsor a handful of promising young designers who want to make fish leather a part of their success. Last year one of them, Ernesto Hinojosa, was honoured
as Young Designer of the Year 2013 in Finland. For us it was no surprise.
A strange name for a Finnish guy? Well, he is not Finnish at all! Born in August 1988 in Toluca, Mexico, he studied in Mexico City and London, and oddly enough decided to pursue his postgraduate studies at Centria University in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari in Finland, in order to follow his passion for exotic Nordic materials. Finnish fur and Icelandic fish leather are among his favourites. "With markets moving furiously towards ECO-design, in Atlantic Leather's fish leather I have found the perfect solution that embodies LUXURY, BEAUTY and SUSTAINABILITY," says Ernesto.
A rising star Our sales manager María Magnúsdóttir visited Ernesto’s studio last summer. "It was like coming into ‘the test lab of a mad scientist,’ playing out his ideas on how to use fish leather in ways that have never been done before," says Maria. "Mark my word: He will be one of the big names in the world of high fashion - A star is born!"
The jury of the Young Designer competition commended Hinojosa for "his ability to combine ecological thinking with haute couture." Read more about Ernesto Hinojosa in a leaflet about the competition or check out his gorgeous designs on his website. Please contact S贸ley if you want to be sponsored by Atlantic Leather.
