The roster.
The first house
Camila Casual.
Founded by Alba Luz Díaz in Santiago de los Caballeros in 1986, and led in design today by her daughter, Karla María Abreu, who trained at Polimoda in Florence. A house in its second generation.
Its signature is its own prints and colors, refined over forty years, on silhouettes made for heat and made to last.
The second house
Chosen. Unannounced.
The next house is already on its way, and the ones after it, one at a time. That is the design, a window onto the Caribbean’s best, opened name by name, each arriving complete.
When the name goes public, a letter goes first, with the house, the people and the first pieces. The inbox hears it before the page does.
Working with paros.
The roster stays open.
The roster grows one brand at a time, and on purpose. We look for Caribbean brands, established or emerging, whose pieces are designed and made in the region and carry a signature of their own. Before a brand joins, we study its work piece by piece, see where it is made and meet the people who make it. Only the work that holds up to that reading joins.
And to the people this culture travels through: stylists, writers, the women who carry it wherever they live.
Applications are welcome, and we read every one.
