ORIGINS
Agustin M. Delgado is a self-taught designer and craftsman. Born in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Delgado follows traditions of creativity and sewing from his family. Growing up in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Delgado developed an eye for fashion and design at an early age. Inspired by the women and men in his family, who designed and created hand-sewn, hand-tailored clothing. At age seven, Delgado relocated to Washington State, where Delgado reunited with his mother. Her influence became Delgado's foundation for textiles, color, and creativity.
Delgado launched his brand in 2018 and continues to astonish the runways with his bold, show-stopping designs. Delgado is a passionate artisan who wants to evoke people's emotions and inspire people through history and art. Delgado's inspirations come from various artistic styles, historical eras, and fashion elements worldwide. He firmly believes that "one must understand the past to understand the future." Delgado endeavors to create art in the form of wearable garments that reflect his client's individual and unique personalities. After all, every creation tells a story and is a canvas for artistic expression, bringing beauty, romance, and the designer's imagination to life.
UPCOMING
Delgado is working on his Fall/Winter 2024 collection, inspired by the late 1980s and 1990s Club Kids movement. The Club Kids were a group of young New York City dance club personalities with crazy, flamboyant, extravagant costumes and show-stopping fashion. Their aesthetic emphasized outrageousness and fabulousness! Gender was fluid, and everything was DIY.
I FEEL LOVE: A Night at the Club is a tribute to those who embrace themselves regardless of what society labels them—those who are not afraid to express themselves through fashion. The collection's aesthetic will be 85% up-cycled from past designs from various collections. The structure of my collection will be bold, with plenty of drama and a touch of dazzling sparkle. It will have flare and flow and a fitting silhouette that gracefully accentuates the waist and that masculine tailored fit. Each garment will have a soul, as each piece will be ornate and have a unique artistic quality that portrays the wide variety of design, art, and DIY aesthetic—giving a hint of ostentatious extravagance that will provide that romantic fantasy feel to each garment.
