Ballesteros


ABOUT THE DESIGNER


Ballesteros is a contemporary avant gard ready-to-wear brand, focusing on reinventing conventional silhouettes through material exploration. Ballesteros merges my passion for traditional tailoring with the ease and movement of ready-to-wear garments. The Ballesteros silhouette is loud and powerful. My brand invites clients to be bold and take risks in their dress, encouraging them to be unapologetically authentic and unafraid when presenting themselves to the world. I take inspiration from reclaiming the female form and female sexuality, allowing my customers to feel liberated in their bodies. Ballesteros values inclusion in all forms and strongly believes that clothing should not be limited based on someone’s size or gender expression. My brand works to provide more size-inclusive options through bespoke tailoring to accommodate all bodies.

L'amour Haine: Métamorphose

L'amour Haine: Métamorphose is a visual exploration depicting a physical transformation through moments of passion and conflict. It symbolizes change and acceptance, allowing experiences to shape and mould a person into the next version of themselves. This idea is punctuated through curved and sharp lines/shapes that wrap around the body in ways that feel confining but allow for fluidity. The collection is mainly comprised of leather silhouettes.
