Hello! I'm currently working on my new collection called the birth of Venus. The name of the collection came from a song called Venus by Lady GaGa. What I got from the song was this strong sensual woman. A woman who is not afraid to show her curves. What makes a women sparkle more than with jewels. Every women is beautiful and is my job to make them feel this way.
I've been doing lots of research. The ocean, Mermaids, fantasy, and Aphrodite are a few things I'm inspired by. I don't want to make it literal but still see where I'm coming from. I've been Working day and night getting all the looks drawn out. I always edit my drawing and think how I can make it better. What makes this look different from what's already out there. I'm focusing on the shape and body of a woman. The fabrics will be a play between color and neutrals. They'll be lots of rtw looks consisting of swimwear to eveningwear. I'll be doing a few couture looks. Gorgeous ball gowns with a beautiful silhouette.
In the next couple of months I'll be posting the creative process of how I put it all together. I gave myself a date of January 1 2017 to be finished. Hopefully I can get into the show in febuary and debut this collection. Either way I'm excited to present it. Here we go #BirthOfVenusCollection by Andres Pinedo 2017.

Paul Mitchell and jammin 105.7 came together and put on a show at the pioneer square in Portland. Myself with three other designers came together and participated in the event. The models were from option model agency in Portland. Hair and makeup was provided by Paul Mitchell the school of Portland. The look was very glamorous. Lana Del Rey hair with a bronze face. Everyone did a fantastic job!
When you do a show, you never really know what the outcome is going to be. Everything is always a learning experience. You have to ask yourself is it worth it? Will it help you advance in what you're achieving? Are you improving or cheapening your brand? I never really ask those questions. Next time though, I'll be prepared! I was able to show five looks in the new collection. It's a little sneak peek of what's to come. I also showed six original looks from my previous collection. Expect the new collection to come out in spring 2017.
