Edixon Valdez
Edixon Valdez was born in the Dominican Republic and has lived in the United States since age 17. As a kid, I loved picking up retazos (pieces) of leftover colorful fabrics from a sac that my seamstress aunt Tilin used to lock away. With those retazos, he made crafts: decorated jars, cans, etc. But most important to Edixon, he began his creative career in designing, and started making hand-made dresses for younger cousin dolls.
But his passion was not allowed to flourish so after graduating from Plattsburgh State University of New York with a Bachelor Degree of Arts in Hospitality, Edixon began his employ with Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York City. He longed for his first love fashion, so he enrolled in a sewing and pattern making class at New York’s infamous Fashion Institute of Technology.
Edixon caught the Fashion Bug and proceeded in creating his first collection for men through sportswear and for women with eveningwear.
