Inspired by Rayuela, Julio Cortázar’s cornerstone of Latin American modernist literature, this collection unfolds between order and chaos, Paris and Latin America, the mind vs. body.
Set between continents, it embodies movement, transformation, and liberation through French words, jazz, surrealism, and existential freedom.
The garments echo Cortázar’s rhythm, where Europe’s structure meets Latin America’s imperfect pulse.
In Paris, sentences are precise; in Latin America, “the sentences loosen. The rhythm becomes faster, more conversational. The atmosphere turns humid, human, tactile.” (Cortázar, 1963)
The woman lives within that tension, architectural yet fluid, disciplined yet instinctive. She moves between control and release, embracing the feminine over the masculine.
This collection becomes a hopscotch of identities, where form dissolves into movement and intellect into desire.
It is in that chaos where I release control and let myself be carried.
