THE CREATOR
Anthony Almeida was born on April 28, 1997, in Quito, Ecuador. He spent his early years in the Los Chillos Valley where he remained in school until he was 11 years old. He subsequently moved to Tumbaco to study all his tuition at Shakespeare School. Once he graduated, he moved to Cumbayá where he would undertake the search for his passion.
He studied Advertising Communication at Universidad San Francisco de Quito for 2 semesters, until he decided to switch to Marketing. But he quickly went back to his first choice because he could “exploit his pent-up creativity” -Antoine. In his sixth semester he had a class where he was able to do a job dedicated to art. He doubted he made the choice to do a fashion project which was a success. That project was called UNITY, which curiously was his first collection.
Anthony at 23 years old employed skilled tailoring workers, attentive to finishing. With expansion, machine sewing was a production method that supported manufacturing. By 24 years he had already dressed several people who never doubted his “exquisite” taste of him. Anthony knew from the beginning that his own culture rejected his taste for fashion but never enough to prevent him from creating haute couture … from creating what ANTOINE is now.
