Rodrigo Velez
Collection: “Madre”
Madre, Spanish for mother, was the muse for my collection. In efforts of keeping
my mother’s memory alive, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a
fashion designer. When seeking out inspiration for my collection, I reminisced of
the times I shared with her growing up and her love of sewing. Her elegance and
beauty were influential in the conception of all my designs. I pay tribute to her by
designing a feminine, beautiful and timeless collection; constructing hourglass and
A-line silhouettes on satin, chiffon and tulle embellished with delicately hand beaded
trimmings. My pieces were created with versatility to easily transition from one look
to another.
