Paris, France and Casa Grande, Peru
How did you get into the fashion industry? And what led you to found your brand?
We come from a small district called Casa Grande, not far from the city of Trujillo, Peru, where art, museums, and any artistic career were not within our reach so, therefore, difficult to conceive working in the fashion industry. But once we moved to Paris, we had to choose a career, and it was apparent that our passion has always been to create things together. So fashion design was the field that concentrated many of our passions: art, design, architecture, fabrics, and crafts. As Peruvians, it was essential to return to our roots, and this is how D.N.I was born.
