2023 Designers DiegO ArellanO

No Vanitie

Diego was born in Dallas, Texas but was raised in Fort Collins. This past summer, he completed his Internship in San Antonio with Richter Goods, which specializes in high-end men’s button downs, made in the USA. His inspiration for this collection came from all the way back in 2017 when viewing a behind the scenes video on Off White’s F/W Men’s collection titled “Business Casual”. Ever since seeing how Off White was able to perfectly mesh streetwear into high end garments, Diego fell in love with fashion and has used this collection to create his own business casual line that embraces simplicity with modern silhouettes and a touch of soft masculinity.
