PORTFOLIO
by K A R A M A R I E F R E S N I D O fashion design
about. My story of growing up within ancient traditons is the very essence of my aesthetic...or in fact, breaking away from these traditions. I adhere to the classical and mold details within what is classic and give way to the rebel, inching its way out.
Background. Pursing medicine paved way into my fashion career. Constraint within the limitations of this field, I craved a life in the arts. Despite the objections of my family and all their expectations, I dived in and enrolled myself into a fashion school. On my last year as a fashion student, i was already working for Lee Jeans Phils., with whom also I continued to work for after my studies. Working for Lee Jeans allowed me to work with other brands such as: Von Dutch and Candies, all of which are American Clothing Brands. Soon after, I was recruited by Golden ABC Inc, to work for their fast fashion brand named: Oxygen. Some years then after, I was graced with an opportunity to take my masters in Paris! Without a second thought, I left my country to pursue bigger dreams. Now, with 2 successful years of working experience in France as a designer (Zoenne Paris) and stylist (Luisaviaroma), I'm looking forward for new opportunities to show my honed skills and showcase my vision in fashion.

FASHION COLLECTION EDGE OF NOSTALGIA. BEAUTY DOWN BELOW.
Collection 1: edge of nostalgia This collection is heavily inspired by my grandparents, especially in their photographs in the late 60's.
Fabrics were specifically chosen to mimic the textures the photograph gives off.
I wanted the collection to create the feeling of stepping into the photograph...or rather, the photograph stepping out, creating modernized looks to adapt to our timeline and theirs.
