The Argentine singer wore the garment designed by the student during her concert in Montevideo on February 22 as part of her Futttura Tour.
From dream to reality: the start of the project
It all began when the young designer, who is currently in her seventh semester of fashion design, decided to show her designs to Tini’s stylist, Michael Lorigados, in order to make a long-held dream come true:
I went to see her in concert when she came to Uruguay in 2022, and I found myself watching her on stage and imagining her in different outfits. One day, it occurred to me to design an outfit for her so she could wear it. I’ve got nothing to lose—I’ve already heard “no.”
After submitting her illustrations and proposals, she received confirmation that the team liked her work. Initially, a different garment had been selected—one she had worked on intensively for several days to meet the academic deadlines.
He even traveled to Buenos Aires to bring her in, although in the end they decided not to include her in the show.
However, Lorigados contacted her again the day before the show in Uruguay: they wanted the trench coat. The designer took it to the hotel where the team was staying, although she wasn't entirely sure it would be used until the moment of the concert.
During one of the show’s most intimate and melancholic moments, the artist appeared on stage, seated in a chair with her trench coat neatly draped over her.
“That’s when I felt like I was going to faint. Right up until the last moment, I didn’t know if I was actually going to use it,” she recalls.
The design behind the trench coat
The garment, made of cotton gabardine, features structural cutouts on the sleeves, sides, and back, with moss green and brown bias-cut trim. The satin lining and voluminous construction are inspired by the Palacio Salvo, an architectural icon of Montevideo, a reference that was part of the concept developed in the Fashion Design 3 course.
The design reimagines the classic trench coat, combining a conceptual approach with functionality and commercial appeal.
Context was also key. As the stylist explained, the artist is currently going through a more natural and realistic phase, and is open to incorporating ideas from emerging designers from around the world.
Far from the extreme theatricality of other tours, the current direction focuses on more authentic and relatable pieces, in line with a new aesthetic identity.
As an added touch, the team requested a pin featuring the Uruguayan flag to incorporate into the look, with the aim of highlighting the designer’s heritage.
An intense experience with professional benefits
The young woman acknowledges that the experience was intense, with moments of uncertainty and anxiety, but deeply rewarding.
He emphasizes that the program provided him with essential tools: maturity in the creative process and the ability to communicate his ideas through illustrations.
Looking ahead, she dreams of launching her own international brand. Styling artists wasn’t part of her original plan, but the experience left a lasting impression on her. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat,” she says.
