To kick off my new blog series featuring the remarkable individuals I have the pleasure of working with, I wanted to start by highlighting the inspiring journey of Juan Delgado. In many ways, our stories mirror each other, and I felt an immediate connection with him. Juan, an immigrant who moved to the United States years ago, discovered his love for fashion and embarked on a path to establish his own clothing line. However, Juan is more than just an innovative designer; he strives to infuse his work with his cultural roots and childhood experiences, which is what truly resonated with me from the very beginning.
If you have read my previous blog INSIDE THE FASHION INDUSTRY - Working With Me, you would know that I am quite selective when it comes to choosing clients. I only collaborate with individuals who share the same passion for fashion and possess a genuine desire to succeed. Juan Delgado embodies these qualities in his designs, making him an ideal collaborator. It is his unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence that set him apart.
For his first collection, Juan found inspiration in a rather unexpected place: coffee. As a child, he fondly recalls the cherished moments spent with his mother over a cup of freshly brewed coffee. This intimate ritual served as a profound bond between them. Drawing from this nostalgic experience, Juan set out to translate the essence of coffee into contemporary yet chic clothing pieces. The result is a captivating collection that captures the warmth, energy, and sophistication associated with this beloved beverage.
I am delighted to share that my discerning approach to selecting clients has been paying off, and I couldn't be prouder of the accomplishments achieved by those I have the privilege of working with. Witnessing their success and knowing that my hard work and dedication contribute to their achievements is incredibly rewarding.
In an exciting development, the Delgado New York brand recently signed a contract with Flying Solo. This collaboration means that by September 2023, you can expect to find Juan's designs not only in the Flying Solo store but also conveniently available for purchase online through his upcoming website, set to launch in September as well. Pre-orders for his stunning collection are already available, allowing fashion enthusiasts to secure their favorite pieces ahead of time.
The emergence of Delgado New York represents more than just a new fashion brand; it embodies the story of an immigrant who dared to dream, connect with his roots, and weave his experiences into the fabric of his designs. I am honored to be a part of this incredible journey and look forward to witnessing Juan Delgado's continued success as he leaves his mark on the fashion industry.
Stay tuned for more captivating stories of extraordinary individuals who are reshaping the world of fashion. Until then, be sure to check out Delgado New York's pre-order offerings and mark your calendars for September 2023 to experience his exceptional creations at Flying Solo and online.
