About GERALDINE

With the purpose of sharing the idea of fashion as a form of healing and a means to improve women’s physical appearance, as well as heighten their state of being, Geraldine returned to her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, to launch her eponymous label in 2017. Combining the bold and the unassuming, Geraldine’s designs reflect the duality of the cities that made her who she is: Barranquilla and New York. She creates no-fuss silhouettes that women can incorporate seamlessly into their wardrobes, with the hope that each of her pieces can transform the person who wears them as much as that person can mold the garments and make them their own. Each of her pieces is made by local Colombian seamstresses and tailors, mainly mothers who are the sole providers of their household. “I’m proud to be working alongside these women: they are independent and strong-willed, which is exactly how I want the women who wear my label to feel.” In this way, the sense of empowerment.
