ABOUT ARMANDO
ARMANDO is a capsule collection that explores the idea of building your own team through garments, customization, and play. Combining silk pieces with miniature football figures traditionally used as cake toppers in Argentine childhood celebrations, the project reinterprets sportswear through fantasy, personal expression, and participation.
The title references both the act of “armar” (to assemble or build) and Argentine football icon Diego Armando Maradona, turning the idea of construction into both narrative and method. Within the exhibition, visitors are invited to customize pieces and assemble their own version of a team.
«ARMANDO imagines football as something we assemble through ritual, play, and belonging. Inspired by the miniature player figures found on Argentine children’s birthday cakes, the project is a tribute to my grandparents, my first team, and to the Sundays and shared memories through which this passion was passed down to me. »
