ASIER QUINTANA X BIAAF

About the collection

Biziraun (Basque term for enduring) is the first collection by Asier Quintana as an independent designer, who was awarded Best Emerging Basque Designer at the 8th edition of the BIAAF international competition.

The idea stems from a deep exploration of heritage and family roots, shaping the essence of human existence.

Conceptualized through the transformation of vintage garments and a range of family relics, the collection attempts to deconstruct and reinterpret the symbolic meaning associated with traditional garments.

Particularly, the essence of the "costume". Through this process the traditional masculine components are rediscovered, embracing a more sensible perspective.

Deconstruction is integrated into this collection using classic tailoring techniques in combination with different draping methods.

All materials used in this drop are deadstock and vintage fabrics of heritage value.
