Octavio Pizarro: the black choice

Mesh combined with leather, neoprene over silk satin and a lot of black: these are the detail coordinates of Octavio Pizarro Fall/winter 2015/2016 collection. A tribute to the woman who inspires all his creations, the collection offers a complete wardrobe that brings together sport chic looks and sophisticated couture dresses, all with a black base, shade that fascinates Octavio Pizarro and became his signature. Handmade Alpaca, Mohair and Agora pieces are bringing softness to his very structured and technological jacquard pieces. A touch of green completes the collection, symbol of freedom, balance and refinement.

Octavio Pizarro, a Franco-Chilean designer, studied at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne before joining, in 1997, Jean-Louis Scherrer as ready-to-wear assistant. Atfer stages at Jacques Fath and Guy Laroche, he launched in 2005 his own accessory line and creates, among others, luxurious Alpaca scarves using ancestral technics inherited from the Andean plateau. His first ready to wear collection was ready in 2011. His work is influenced by geometry, architecture, kinetic art and art deco. (www.octaviopizarro.com)
