Designer Profile
Carolina Galan owns a degree in architecture at UPB at Medellin (Colombia). In her twenties she attended a Master in Interior Design at Salamanca University in Spain. After experiencing jobs in architecture in Colombia she moved to fashion design which had been always one of her passions. In her mind, architecture and fashion design are both creative disciplines aiming at drafting beauty. She attended a course in fashion design at Istituto Marangoni and a pattern-making at Istituto Burgo in Milan (Italy). After a stage at Vivienne Westwood in Milan she started her own brand in 2008. The use of noble materials in her collection derives from her esteem for the 50's modern movement and the way in which she constructs her clothes witnesses her training as an architect and her desire for aesthetics and sensuality.
