My work proposal adresses the dynamics of clothing and its relation with the individual. The way both converge, achieving an exceptional and unique language. My work is based on the investigation of the influence and heritage through years of feminine apparel in puertorrican culture and how it translates it into a visionary contemporary and global look.

It’s intention is to develop a design mentality that contains identity based on defining an authentic style reutilizing and implementing the craftsmanship textile of the country, that not only responds to a context of previous decades, also to a functionality that adapts to various geographical environments; transforming with contemporary and feminine aesthetic design that defines an exclusive product originating from the Sewing Industry of Puerto Rico. Maximizing the exposure launching the collection internationally. Another characteristic of the collection is adding artistic techniques that has been part of my formation in the processs.
