Alan Archer Ogliari, an only child, was born in 1976 in Curitiba, South Brazil, characterised by its high standard of living and being the most diverse country on the planet.
On moving to London in 1999 he studied Fashion and Design at Westminster College graduating with the much acclaimed urban collection 'Saturn' - a collection solely dedicated to the use of denim, a strong concept developed for use in manufacture.
This was collection No.5, whilst in Brazil Alan had already shown four other collections featuring dresses mainly in jersey and crepe georgette and it was in Brazil that he developed a passion for hand painting fabrics, which have become such a trade mark along with his unique cutting and hand sculpting which make Alan one of the most exciting Couturiers in London today. This exciting fusion of hot Latin passion with European elegance is best shown in his latest Collections No.10 The Gaudi Collection influenced by ornamentation, the laws of nature and abstract sculptures with the highest aesthetic experience and No. 11 Symbology the art of expression by symbols, a subject currently at the centre of Dan Brown's controversial The Da Vinci Code. In this collection Alan expresses cutting edge couture and pushes the boundaries with the most elegant, vital and wearable clothing.
