About

José María Otero is an interdisciplinary fashion designer devoted to bespoke, artisanal craft. Born in Bogotá, my Andean roots are shaped by a life lived across Mexico City, New York, London and Miami. An upbringing that has given me a global vision, yet continually calls me home. I return to my heritage not simply for inspiration, but out of a sense of duty: to honor and reveal the beauty of Latin American artisanship. My work moves along the delicate line between animal, land, and human life, blending the functionality of Andean farm culture with the precision and elegance of high-end tailoring.
