About |
The Andes Fashion was founded in 2011, by Mirta Evi, a sustainable resources fashion designer born in 1982. From Italian and Spanish heritage, she always loved the art, design, drawing and singing. The result of this creativity and caring about social problems that she knew from previously businesses and projects she was involved; is how she become a faithful believer that fashion business can be a fact to reduce the poverty in Ecuador and other countries. She studied arts, tourism, and fashion design. Mirta resides with her husband Eduardo and her kids in Quito, Ecuador, but they always travel around the continent trying to get the best of South America.
