Cesar Galindo is a self-taught fashion designer, stylist, entrepreneur, and first-generation Mexican-American Designer.
Coming from a large hard-working Mexican family, he learned about business and his love of the craft was nurtured through his mother, who taught him how to sew and instilled in him a love for design. Growing up, Cesar set his mind on becoming a full-time designer.
Throughout his career, Cesar has redefined Latin success in the fashion industry, starting off designing corsets and period costumes for The Miami City Ballet and The Houston Grand Opera, to later owning his own luxury fashion line, Cesar Galindo.
He has also worked as a contract designer for many labels including Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, and Kimora Lee Simmons Collection, the new launch of Baby Phat, and three gowns for Diane von Furstenberg for this year’s MET Gala. Galindo has created red-carpet outfits for many world-renowned celebrities, including Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Courteney Cox, and Missy Elliott, among others.
Cesar’s latest endeavor is to create a shopper’s hub for consumers to experience the Cesar Galindo collection on galindonyc.com.
Galindo will receive the Fashion Icon Award for Trendsetter of the Year at Hamptons Fashion Week on August 6.
