San Jose native, Aileen Quiambao is an up and coming Bay Area based designer. Inspired by her surroundings, nature, and the growth of her daughter, Aijhanaya Irie; Quiambao’s designs capture the resiliency of innocence, the beauty of growth and the encounters in everyday life. Taking such elements and incorporating them into women’s wear and accessories creates a distinct style that embodies the delicacy and strengths of femininity and inner-city flavor.
With the debut of her latest collection: “Urban Contemporary Headwear“, Quiambao weaves together the realness and rawness of urban flair with the purity and elegance into each design. By taking major hoods around the United States such as Greenwich in NYC, West Hollywood in LA, the Fillmore in SF, Las Vegas, etc., Quiambao creates a classic, yet fresh wear to keep you covered year around.
Check out this runway showcase featuring Quiambao’s Spring 2009 collection that took place at the annual Charity Fashion Show located at Stanford University:
