ABOUT FILOMENA FERNANDEZ:
Filomena Fernandez, a woman’s apparel brand founded by Maritza Fernandez, is a collection of garments inspired by Latin American and Asian cultures. The injection of cultural influences including deepened femininity and minimalism results in a women’s wear line that is at once practical and wearable. A fresh approach to the reinvention of everyday basics is enveloped in a distinctively laid-back yet modern look. Filomena Fernandez’s first outpost is located in Coral Gables, Florida.
The presentation of originality and flair is created with the utmost attention to detail to make a woman feel confident and refined. Each garment is carefully crafted to ensure comfort, durability and most importantly, ease in maintenance. Filomena Fernandez features the fundamentals of fashion with loose-fitting knits, wide-leg trousers, slouchy shirts and whimsical peasant-style blouses. “I believe that extra room in garments positively works in two fashion techniques,” explains Fernandez. “One, looser clothing produces a thought of ‘what’s under there’ from onlookers. It’s sexy to make one wonder. Secondly, a generous fit provides great elegance – with the way a garment flows to how it molds the body in a way without completely embracing it.”
The decidedly minimalistic designs – clean lines fluidly captured throughout each collection – are inspired by Fernandez’s four-year tenure in Tokyo and the consumption of the Asian aesthetic, rich culture and purity of life.
