What is Vero Ivaldi?
Vero Ivaldi is the label of Argentine fashion designer Vero Ivaldi. She studied engineering before turning to fashion design, and grew up around the craft: her father was a tailor and her mother a dressmaker who taught pattern making and millinery.
Products and positioning
Her work centres on pattern making, which she approaches as a puzzle, developing garments through experimentation, trial and error. She has been developing her own pattern making method. Notable collections include:
- Cinética, her first collection, which used flat pattern shapes and heavy fabrics to create movement
- Tetris, built from puzzle like, nearly interlocking garment pieces
Beyond collections, she creates evening dresses and made to measure clothing, and earlier work included hats and menswear.
Costume and teaching
Ivaldi has designed theatre costumes, including for El Cielo Stravinsky at the Teatro Colón, and dressed the rock band Los Brujos for around ten years. She also teaches at universities and in her own studio.
Why it matters
Vero Ivaldi represents the technically driven, experimental strand of Argentine designer fashion, where construction itself is the design statement.
