DAVID VALIENTE

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Courage is the thread that runs through everything I create. Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, I grew up surrounded by color, music, and resilience, a world where expression was survival. Raised by a single mother and two sisters, I learned early on that strength and beauty often come from the same place.

Trained as an architect and interior designer, I discovered in fashion a new kind of structure, one shaped by emotion. Every garment I create bridges architecture, art, and vulnerability, transforming precision into fluid artistry.

Before founding my brand, I worked for global fashion houses including Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, and Prada, where I honed my eye for storytelling through style. I later refined my couture craft at FashionFit Studio in Mexico City, studying Haute Couture Corsetry and Moulage, and continued my development at FIT while working at Bergdorf Goodman in New York.

Valiente, meaning “courage” in Spanish, stands as a tribute to bravery and individuality. My collections explore the tension between structure and freedom Sculptural tailoring that moves with the body, celebrating the strength to stand out and the courage to be oneself.
