Ayla is a US womenswear brand by designer Andrea Alvarado, who is from southern Peru and based in San Francisco. Its ready-to-wear offerings include dresses, tops, bottoms, skirts, and jumpsuits, with products handmade in San Francisco. Drawing on an interest in clothing-making inherited from her grandmother and mother, the brand builds on classic cuts and styles from different eras, combining vivid prints with elegant tailoring. Its philosophy is to tell stories through clothing, and seasonal collections from 2017 to 2019 are available on its official website.
Concept
I want life to seep through my clothing. I want my designs to tell stories, the same ones that I was told, but through a different channel.
