WHO AM I

My name is Catalina Cosentino, I am 21 years old; I graduated with a degree in Fashion Design and Communication at Intregra Escuela Pablo Giménez. They teach us from theoretical knowledge to practical projects that will allow us to develop collections and the integral communication of our own brand.

In design the area will be the Creative Direction, which consists of being part of work teams to carry out innovative and relevant projects for the national and international market. They also give us the necessary tools to be able to recognize the different textiles and from them generate interesting pieces.

With my studies and courses over time I was able to develop skills such as program management and the relationship with people. with people.

WHAT I LIKE

Al correr de estos años, fui encontrándome y formándome gracias a los proyectos que fui realizando. Encontré una gran fascinación sobre lo que esta “mal” o sobre lo “bizarro”.

Me gusta combinar y mezclar textiles que no tengan nada que ver uno con el otro, al igual que los colores, ya que ¿Quien dice si van o no?

Busco romper con los estándares de lo cotidiano a través de la moda. Mis grandes fuentes de inspiración son la música, mis sentimientos y vivencias. El que algo no sea posible me genera mas ganas de hacerlo, me motiva el saber que puedo buscarle la vuelta.

MY OFFER TO STUDIO TRES

The offer for this capsule would be based on the zero waste technique, which consists of creating garments generating the least possible amount of textile waste. Either designing patterns that make maximum use of the fabric, or using the remains of the textile and incorporating them into the garments to reinforce, decorate or complement.

We continue with the typography and logo design, playing with shapes and letters. The name of the capsule would be STUDIO TRES x ZER.0, which represents the technique and the capsule.

To keep the identity of the brand itself, keeping slow fashion as a working principle. To take into account that the products are made on demand, to be able to generate in the customer that feeling of uniqueness. It is important to reflect the pride and importance of cultures, that heritage that remains and we embrace.

The color palette will be extracted from the fabrics that the brand provides me with, however, they use a very varied color palette, with many colors, as well as the presence of black and white.

process of an overskirt, this one was made with the zero waste technique.

ZER0 is a concept that merges liminality, emotional memories and the search for tranquility in a chaotic world. It represents the state of transition between the past and the future (zero is a null number, meaning it is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral or neutral), where memories are companions on the journey. In a fast-paced world, tranquility becomes an ephemeral challenge, symbolizing human fragility in the face of duality and uncertainty.

Embracing the state of transit, finding beauty in memories and facing the search for tranquility in the midst of chaos, recognizing that this journey makes us as fragile and beautiful as the petals of a rose.

MOODBOARD

My grandfather Alfredo, inherently restless, constantly sought new challenges and explored different paths. His artistic soul was undeniable, not only manifested in his lace designs but also in his ability to turn machines into true artistic tools. Every lace he created was a unique masterpiece, reflecting his profound love for craftsmanship. His ability to merge technical precision with artistic expression was truly inspiring. The legacy of his creativity continues to illuminate my path, urging me to embrace curiosity and channel it into creation.

I express my restlessness through a curiosity to discover how things work or a desire to overcome obstacles. From an early age, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, a condition that hinders my ability to read and write. However, instead of allowing this to limit me, I found inspiration and strength in dyslexia. It taught me to seek alternative solutions, think creatively, and face challenges with determination. I discovered that there were tools and strategies that allowed me to overcome difficulties and develop unique skills.

Being able to unify these restlessnesses that reflect the diversity and human capacity to make a difference, manifesting as a passion and determination of individuals, demonstrates that restlessness can be channeled in positive and creative ways.

“Disturbio” represents the very restlessness that forces all movement in our existence.It is the desire for an action, the urge to transcend what is already known and to break the chains of conformance.

It rises as a deep desire to challenge what is already established, to break with predetermined structures and to refresh the very essence of what surrounds us. It courageously confronts imposed limitations, such as dyslexia, which tries to impose its boundaries, and stands as the motor force that breaks down obsolete systems, allowing us to rebuild on more solid and visionary foundations.

This persistent disturbance leads us to challenge the conventional, to question the established norms and to face the challenge of transcending what is already written in history. It is the power that drives us to mold the future and forge a path where transformation and innovation thrive in harmony with our unwavering determination.

Storytelling

Growing platforms that offer space to the outdoor area. The home encloses the outside view but when you enter it gives a feeling of freedom and spaciousness.

Each level has its own identity that can be differentiated by functionality, materials and and spatially from the others. Circular and organic shapes are abundant in the house, in the lighting, the walls, in the ceramic on the facade, and in its structure. Generating a sense of calm and relaxation in the visitor.

Its massive volumes are perforated with openings of various shapes and sizes. Above us a head of medusa that guards the entrance, this one represents a shield, protects the house.

This home is the result of a collaboration between two of Uruguay's best-known artists. not only the architect Julio Vilamajo, but also the ceramic sculptor Antonio Pena. He was a sculptor and ceramist, whose vision is reflected in the facade of the house, giving it an exterior identity that is so emblematic to this day.

A "high impact" reflection of the maritime references, which summarize the experiences of both artists abroad, in their travels through Europe. A humanized work of art, thanks to the artisanal intervention.

We celebrate this encounter, paying tribute to a creative partnership.

Julio Villamajo's House built in 1929. Located in Domingo Cullen 895, Av. Sarmiento esq, Montevideo, Uruguay

Name

This project started in 2021. we chose the architect Julio vila-

Respiro is the name given to this collection due to the experience that we had while walking through the house.

An unusual structure, where constant movement dominates. The house is set up so that each daily routine activity implies a change of environment, in which each experience is different.

The innovative way of deploying the distribution on each floor, the change of textures, and the great importance of contact with the outside, with the intelligence of modern architecture to simultaneously protect privacyand at the same time, we feel a sense of fresh air, a sense of peace and relief.

Industrial hook, used for the handle of the bag in silhouette 6. With ropes and naval knots.

STORYTELLING

In this collection, textures as well as colors are the main components, and are essential to be able to identify and personalize the identity of the collection.

The openings and the print are also an essential factor in this collection, since in most of the garments we can find them, they give the place for the garments to merge and can have a meaning within the collection and the approach to its identity.

The collection, which as the name says, (intense feeling, coming from the depths) is quite bizarre. Also the name of this refers to internal organs of the body of people or animals, contained in the cranial, thoracic or abdominal cavity, which is why it can be bizarre.

It functioned as a representation of the feelings and moments experienced throughout the work and research. We wanted to emphasize two extremes, super big garments and super tight, translucent garments.

Transparencies

Jabot Volumes Cuts

The Emotional and Extreme

Cracked textures

Visceral, feeling that wells up from the deepest depths, we associate to the idea of the bizarre, a visual image of the visceral of the body, the extreme and shocking to look at.

Constructive elements, such as the pleats in the silhouette 4 pants

Inspired by textures like faux leather and the shine of it,skirts and accessories from this collection will use this textile

Anonymity in garments,inspired by margiela, we cover the face maximum possible.

The print was the main thing and what led us to name the collection this way,his drastic movements and of a strong presence, discovery based on crackled textures.

STORYTELLING

We seek to pay tribute to him from a humble Uruguayan point of view, firmly based on our national identity.

We based it on the time when he traveled to New York, in the 70's where the pop era was emerging along with Andy Warhol, that was a great inspiration in our palette of colors and shapes. In the technical study, we saw that the sizes he represented were bigger, alluding to the big city, we wanted to take that to the "patch" method in our jeans. In addition, in works such as "the signal man" we found it interesting how he represented man, with arrows and traffic signs, seeking to capture the noise, speed, alienation and movement. We also know that the city of New York is not like other cities, there people seek to be special and different, we took this into account to create the pieces.

Constructively we used a lot of changes in texture, color and material, in order to create pieces that represent the artist with actuality.

Temperas in which anonymous characters, traffic signs, billboards, awnings, cars, garbage cans, fire escapes, buildings, arms and legs, are part of the same suffocating, impenetrable and frightening whirlpool. Gurvich, was an artist, craftsman, worker and nomad.

A Uruguayan in a crazy city.

NAME

The man and his commitment to the man himself was always the focus of Gurvich's work; we see it in works such as "Signal Man" in which different urban indicators: traffic lights, arrows and flags make up an urban man, anonymous and alienated or, on the contrary, in the case of his cosmic men and couples in whom we discover vital beings, endowed with a rich inner world whose engine is joy.

The traces of the city, its speed, its smells, its colors and all its sensations.

STORYTELLING

The fundamental concepts of this proposal consist of giving a second life to unused garments, transforming those that were considered unrecoverable into creative manifestations of freedom. We are committed to adapt to the global dynamics, recognizing the constant change of the world environment, and our primary objective is to promote awareness of the need to change our habits to build a more sustainable world. We also seek to overcome obstacles, challenge established barriers and promote continuous progress towards more sustainable practices, emphasizing the importance of internalizing this approach as an imperative.

NAME

Before the pandemic was officially declared as such, it all started with a simple outbreak, which gradually expanded geographically into a pandemic. This outbreak triggered a new reality, causing significant transformations in the entire world. People adopted new habits, experienced a change of consciousness and evolved on a general level. It is in this context that we decided to name our brand "Brote", not only in reference to the global situation, but also as a symbol of the many changes and transformations that are taking place both internally and externally as a result of these events.
