REGIA holds the line. Cut in structured dupioni, it sits with intention — defined, grounded, and exact in how it frames the body. It doesn’t adapt. It defines it. One side carries the focus. A stunning continuous embellishment is built entirely by hand in the atelier, using offcuts of tulle, velvet, sequins and lamé. Each element is placed with control, creating density, contrast, volume and a surface that feels constructed rather than applied. No two pieces are the same. At its core are Mexican artisanal patches, designed and made specially for this collection by artisans in Zinacantán, Chiapas. I prepare them in my atelier and integrate them into each vest, adding beads and buttons to build a composition that holds weight — visually and physically. This is where my herencia lives. Not as reference. As a method. Open at the sides and secured with ties at the waist, REGIA allows the body to move while maintaining its structure. It doesn’t soften. It doesn’t disappear. This is not a supporting piece. It sets the tone before anything else is seen. REGIA is worn with certainty — when presence is not something you negotiate, but something you claim.
