A course by Alicia Cao Guarido
Although she's trained in editorial and set design, Alicia Cao's passion for dressmaking led her to win the debut season of Maestros de la Costura, which propelled her into a professional career in fashion where she currently works as a designer, pattern maker, and product developer.
Since then, she has created a collection for El Corte Inglés and opened her own tailor-made clothing workshop where she designs dresses for weddings and events. She has also experimented with new technology like laser cutting to give seemingly useless materials, like plastic bottles, a second life by incorporating them into her clothing using traditional artisan methods to create highly artistic and ethical designs with unique style.
