About Our Founder:
Layana Aguilar is the fashion designer behind the eponymous contemporary womenswear label that celebrates womanhood.
Layana differentiates herself by blending her experiences from living in New York City with her native Brazilian culture.
While running her womenswear label for over 5 years, Aguilar became a mother of two and discovered a way to combine her love for fashion and children by creating the Fashion Squad School.
In February 2016, Disney turned to Layana Aguilar to design the Ballgown for its first Latin Princess, "Elena of Avalor". After appearing in season 11 of the fashion design competition show, Project Runway, Aguilar was later hooked up with Disney through one of the show's judges, Tim Gunn.
Drawing from her South American heritage, Aguilar tapped into a childhood memory of her grandmother embroidering colorful mandala flowers. In which Layana believes to be a perfect way to represent Princess Elena's story as well as her own. In Sanskrit, Mandala means "circle". This art represents the quest for personal discovery and fulfillment.
Layana Aguilar, the brand, was established in New York City in 2013. The label focuses on clean and ethical production and supports domestic manufacturing in New York City.
