Mexican designer duo TRISTA formed by Giovanni Estrada and Jose Alfredo Silva explores the meanings of human body volumes and silhouettes applying a constantly evolving formula which brings together architectural patterns and research of quality fabrics and new color compositions.
intellectual dreamer, full of life and elegant… This groundbreaking couple belongs to the new generation of Mexican fashion designers. Both graduated in 2006 from the institute IES Moda (better known as casa de Francia Fashion Institute) in Mexico City, in 2007 they made their catwalk debut in the Mexico Fashion week winning the ‘Lycra Award’ for best new fashion designer. Subsequently they participated in several fashion platforms in Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, Japan and Spain. In 2010 they launched their new lines “TRISTA BRIDE” and “Base 3”.
Their new Spring Summer 2011 collection INIMICÒ XI is based on their fundamental recurrent question: “Who is TRISTA? “. It is inspired on the Trista’s woman intimacy, this time a more mature TRISTA, who explores with confidence her sexuality. This leads to their rawness and unique handmade experimental watercolor graphics printed in a subtle, delicate way over silk georgettes and chamusses; transparencies and drapings, tailored silhouettes and heavy fabrics, strong magentas, sands, purples and light colors like mint greens, metallic greys and fuchsias in total harmony, where every piece complement and contrast each other simultaneously. The INIMICÒ XI collection will be launched in March 2011.
Mexico always strikes back; so be prepared, find out more about TRISTA.
