About

Evelyn Valverde is the founder and creative director of Eve Valverde Atelier, a brand that redefines Latin American luxury through authenticity and ethics. Trained under the tutelage of masters like Sonia Chang, Evelyn has transformed an early vocation into a brand with international reach, present on runways in Colombia, Honduras, Costa Rica, and, recently, on global stages such as Moscow Fashion Week and SIMA41 in Seville, Spain.

 

Since 2024, the brand has solidified a strategic shift towards comprehensive sustainability. Evelyn leads a "Slow Fashion" philosophy that prioritizes the use of organic fibers, natural linens, and silks, minimizing environmental impact without sacrificing sophistication.

 

Her signature style—hand-painting—transforms each garment into a unique work of art, fusing high craftsmanship with an ecological conscience. More than just fashion, Evelyn proposes a cultural narrative: positioning Costa Rica not only for its biodiversity, but also for its capacity to export conscious, designer fashion.

 

Guided by perseverance and balance, Evelyn advocates for an industry where respect for the environment and aesthetic excellence are inseparable, taking this message from her atelier in San Jose to the world.
