Ana Maria Guiulfo is a Peruvian designer who produces art you can wear. She is a painter at heart, so she hand paints all the fabrics she uses. Although most of her designs are sewn in Peru, she paints everyday at her home in Miami. Heavy silks, alpaca wool fabrics and unusual stitches are just some of the unique details of her collections. The designs are classic, but modern and very beautiful-sort of a combination of Latin, South Floridian and European flair. If you have bought designer clothes before, you will find these ones very reasonable. Besides, they are unique! - Mercedes de Marchena
