Hello! My name is Santiago Zambrana, I'm 25 years old, I'm a fashion designer and, above all, I'm a couture passionate. I have been training and perfecting my skills for years, both independently and working for other designers such as Juan Vidal or Palomo Spain.
I'll explain my professional career here so that you can know me better. Do you want to see my CV?
I studied fashion design at EA San Telmo in Málaga. During my studies I discovered my inclination for tailoring and corsetry; and created my first two collections: BLOM and TCHOTCHKE .
With BLOM ss20 I won first place in the Málaga Crea 2020 contest and several pieces from the collection appeared in editorials for Vogue Ukraine , Harper's Bazaar Vietnam , Elle Arabia , L'Officiel India and L'Officiel Baltics , FWord magazine ...
TCHOTCHKE ss21 was my thesis and my introduction to the working industry.
After finishing my degree, I did my internship at Juan Vidal 's workshop, but I had to stop and return home for a while due to the Covid-19 crisis. In those months I designed a line of accessories based on my TFE and created my own website and online store where I promoted and sold the accessories that I produced myself.
Fittings for The Closet in the Palomo Spain atelier
In May 2021 I contacted Palomo Spain and, after a visit to the workshop and a tailoring test, I started working as an intern and ended up being one of the main tailors for almost three years.
In addition to being in charge of small productions in the workshop, during the collection season I was also responsible for the development of some lines of the collection: corsetry, draping and evening dresses. Thus, I developed looks for Córdoba , Tiburón , The Closet and Cruising in the rose Garden ; Being part of the team that travels to the fashion weeks in Madrid and New York as responsible for clothing, alterations and more.
At the same time as we were creating the collections, I also made several wedding dresses, guest dresses and customs for international clients; in addition to being responsible for making some great projects such as a look for Beyoncé x Tiffany & Co .; the costumes for Chanel at Eurovision 2022 ; some of the looks from the Bimba and Palomo collaboration; and the most recent, the complete costumes for Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi at the 2024 Goya gala.
After a great experience working for Palomo Spain I decided to expand my work experience and continue training in other workshops.
