Victor Alfaro: Designer
Victor Alfaro was born in Mexico in 1965. He emigrated to the USA in 1981, and graduated from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology in 1987. He became an assistant of designer Mary Ann Restivo in the late 1980s, then worked for Joseph Abboud, an American prêt-a-porter designer. Alfaro's clothes are worn by celebrities including Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Mariah Carey and Winona Ryder. His eveningwear is characterised by designs embodying a spirit of sexuality and power through body-clinging garments in leather and sheer fabrics. Alvaro's style is avant-guarde, sleek in cut and line combined with the use of luxurious fabrics.
