Min Agostini
Min Agostini was born in Argentina, trained as an architect in the United States and Argentina, had worked in England and furthered her studies in fashion in Milán.
Her design background and international working experiences helped to form her unique sculptural style. After a brief and successful career in Architecture she focused on fashion design, participating in fashion fairs and vanguard design events. Min Agostini has retail stores in Argentina, one in Palermo Viejo, an avant-garde neighborhood in Buenos Aires, and a second in Recoleta, a neighborhood characterized by the presente of top international design boutiques.
Min Agostini's style strongly reflects her intimate relationship with the materials and understanding of space. Her creative process begins with the real female form as a starting point; every aspect of the design evolves from the three dimensional figure. The design is shyaped by each fabric's unique characteristics such as texture and weight. The simplicity of each material is transformed, through pleating, overlapping seams, enfolding ribbons and constructed sculpturally into innovative forms.
