Maia Harima

Japan

Maia Harima is an Argentine-Japanese fashion designer based in Tokyo, Japan, whose work explores identity, memory, and cultural transformation through textiles and clothing.

Born and raised in Argentina with Japanese heritage, Maia studied Fashion Design at the University of Buenos Aires (FADU UBA) and later completed a Master’s degree in Fashion Technology at Bunka Fashion Graduate University in Tokyo.

Her practice reinterprets existing Japanese textiles—particularly vintage kimono, obi, and traditional fabrics—through contemporary silhouettes and textile techniques. Guided by the Japanese concept of mottainai, she believes that “there is nothing more sustainable than using what has already been made.”

Her current collection NUDO, continues this exploration through shirring, kanoko shibori, draping, and other techniques that transform the surface of the garment.

Working with old kimonos and delicate textiles, the collection explores the relationship between the body, tension, repetition, and transformation, creating pieces that move between structure and softness, tradition and contemporary design.

Jeanette Lima

Dominican Republic

Born in the Dominican Republic, Jeanette Limas studied at the Mercy Jacquez Institute and Chavón School of Design, where her graduation collection earned her the Young Designer of the Year award and a scholarship to Parsons School of Design. After moving to New York, she continued her training at FIT and worked with Urban Zen by Donna Karan and Jolibe Atelier before launching her namesake label in 2019.

Known for her expressive draping and contemporary luxury designs, Jeanette has presented multiple collections at New York Fashion Week. In 2022, she became a top finalist on Amazon Prime’s Making the Cut, winning two challenges whose capsule collections were sold through Amazon Fashion. She later developed her business as a Designer in Residence at the Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy’s and earned cover features in Yellow Cover Magazine and Main Line Today.

In 2026, Jeanette received Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Award for Eveningwear and was named Outstanding Designer Abroad at the Dominican Fashion Awards. Additional honors from her hometown of La Romana, INDEX, and Dominicans of Excellence celebrate her contributions to fashion and her international representation of the Dominican Republic.

Jorge Rey

Aregentina

Jorge Rey is an Argentine multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses fashion, music, theater, and visual storytelling into a unique creative universe. His aesthetic, theatrical, and emotional identity positions him as one of the most distinctive voices in Argentina's new creative scene.

He began his career in Buenos Aires haute couture, developing a vision that transforms emotions and imaginary worlds into theatrical experiences and conceptual collections. Over time, his atelier evolved into an artistic laboratory where clothing engages in a dialogue with characters, narratives, and symbolic universes.

In parallel, he expanded his artistic language to include music and musical theater. As a singer, he explores themes of love, freedom, and personal discovery through songs that serve as emotional chapters within a unified universe. As a stage creator, he developed *Akirey – El Niño Ojos de Cristal* (Akirey – The Boy with Crystal Eyes), a conceptual work blending fantasy, social commentary, and pop spirituality through original music, dramatic writing, and high-fashion aesthetics.

His background includes training at *Otro Mundo*—the artistic space founded by Cris Morena—and an acting role in the series *Margarita*.

In Jorge Rey’s work, fashion becomes a character, songs turn into manifestos, and runway shows transform into theatrical productions. More than just a designer or singer, he is a creator of worlds.
