Antonio bio pic

From its exclusive design, extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail, every Antonio Ortega piece is a unique work of art.

With an artistic eye and skilful technique, our clothes are meticulously handcrafted with attention to detail. A single item can take hundreds or thousands of hours to complete.

Using only the finest materials, we source exclusive fabrics worldwide and also create our own designs in-house.

Each item features some form of intricate handwork, whether it be embroidery or luxurious embellishments.

Antonio Ortega Couture evokes the dramatic, but with a playful attitude, and always remaining luxurious with beautiful details. Such finesse makes our brand a master in the art of couture and a favourite of those who appreciate luxury.

Born in Morelia, a Mexican city renowned for its culture and craft traditions, Antonio is the last child of a family of 15 and discovered his love for fashion at the age of 8.

Naturally attracted to studies in design, in 1994 Antonio works with the Mexican Arts and Crafts Centre and learns ancestral techniques and know-how in braiding, weaving, embroidery and openwork: characteristic techniques that can be still be found in his creations.

After a career as head stylist for the Mexican television channel Televisa S.A, in 2001 Antonio lets his curiosity take him to Paris to discover the roots of Haute Couture and study at the Chardon Savard design school.

In 2004 Antonio moved to Montreal (Canada) and he starts is career as fashion designer.

Every Antonio Ortega Couture design starts with a detailed hand drawn sketch by Antonio himself. The sketch will then go through various stages of design until the overall aesthetic has warranted the Antonio Ortega mark.

“Couture is about what you don’t see as well as what you do,” he says.
