Doña Bárbara Collection 1994

The collection channels strength through suede, cutouts, and riding silhouettes built for power, translating fierce femininity into form, material, and movement. Structured yet sensual, the garments move between restraint and dominance, echoing the tension of the frontier. Inspired by Doña Bárbara, the classic 1929 Venezuelan novel by Rómulo Gallegos, the work draws from a narrative rooted in land, control, and will. The story of a woman who rules the Venezuelan plains through beauty and force, later challenged by the return of order and reform, becomes a meditation on civilization and barbarism, love and vengeance, and the pull between untamed nature and human intention..
