Historical textile collections have always held, for me, a mysterious dimension. Before the patina of time, a silent dialogue emerges—one that invites me to create, to imagine, to question.
How do we share the desire to treasure something that is always
at risk of being lost? What happens when the memory we try
to preserve no longer finds its heirs?
The pre-Columbian textiles of Peru reveal an intelligence that wove together art, science, and spirit. Their ancestral perfection reminds me that perhaps it is not we who have advanced, but rather we who have forgotten the soul with which they once created.
My practice dwells in that threshold between memory
and contemporaneity. I do not seek to reproduce ancient textiles, but to reread them through my gaze as a designer—and as an eternal admirer. Each design I create is a form of continuity: an attempt to keep alive the energy of what risks fading away.
My Silk Route Collection contains many meanings and symbolic interpretations; and it brings together places where I have lived
and worked during my lifetime.
The designs are an homage to my Peruvian origin, where I include iconographic references of ancient pre-Columbian cultures
that thrived in Peru. I have put these designs on silk, a material
that transports us to the millenarian route that still connects Europe and Asia today.
These exclusive accessories have been printed with designs
that combine geometric forms from ancient cultures with modern figures inherited from the Swiss school, creating a unique graphic language that unites the best of different worlds and ages.
