I’m Cesar Perdomo, a Senior Fashion Designer and Creative Director with 15+ years of international experience guiding the development of collections for global and commercial brands. I specialize in swimwear, lingerie, ready-to-wear, activewear, and resortwear, with strong experience across the U.S. and Latin American markets. I’m an expert in creative direction, brand building, trend research, and end-to-end product development—from concept to production and market launch. I excel at leading cross-functional teams, optimizing processes, and delivering commercially successful collections aligned with brand identity. Most recently I built KHARABANDA for the European market, led collection development, capsule drops, trend research, fittings, and supplier relationships, while freelancing for Bahía Estudio and other clients. I’m passionate about turning insights into compelling product stories and scalable design systems.
