Constanza Oquendo was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1988. Her innate creativity and interest in fashion was noticeable at a very early age. After finishing high school, Constanza was enrolled at Monteavila University where she majored in Communications, a career that comprises journalism, advertising and audiovisual. During her third year of college, she returned to her first love and enrolled in a basic tailoring and pattern-making course.
While still studying, Constanza began oper- ating a small sewing workshop. Her talent and creativity were immediately apparent to all who visited the apartment/studio.
Upon completing her University studies and receiving her bachelor’s degree, Constanzadevoted all of her energy to building her own fully integrated fashion company.
Amazingly, at age twenty-five, she is now the founder, owner, and creative director of Constanza Oquendo. Since then, four collections have been released to the market in just over a year and a half, and her brand has become a fashion reference in Venezuela. Modestly and gratefully, she attributes her success to numerous favorable print articles and the opportunity for personal appearances in print, televi- sion and digital media.
