Azul Ballestero    

Azul Ballestero is a fashion and textile designer exploring clothing through deconstruction and reconstruction.

Working with existing garments as raw materials, each piece is taken apart, fragmented, and reassembled into new forms. Through this process, the work transforms what once existed, carrying traces of its previous life while evolving into something entirely new.

Positioned at the intersection of fashion and object, the practice uses upcycling as both method and language. It goes beyond sustainability, rethinking value, material, and permanence.

Born in Argentina and shaped by over a decade of experience in design, Azul Ballestero’s approach has been deeply influenced by time spent in Sweden and its strong culture of sustainability.

Now based in Berlin, the designer continues to explore how garments can be dismantled and reconstructed to tell new stories.
