IMM Designer – Valeria Amand

Inspired by the rich biodiversity and vibrant culture of the Peruvian Amazon, Valeria Amand draws deeply from her roots to create designs that honor nature and tradition. Born to a father from the Amazon region, Amand spent her childhood visiting the jungle, where the vivid colors, intricate textures, and ancestral craftsmanship left a lasting imprint on her aesthetic vision.

Amand’s collection reflects the purity of the jungle with pieces crafted in white — a blank canvas symbolizing untouched nature — adorned with intricate embroidery inspired by Amazonian flora, fauna, and Indigenous craftsmanship. Her work emphasizes detail, texture, and the authenticity of handmade creations, weaving the stories of the rainforest into each design, from feathered headdresses to accessories made of wood.

For Amand, fashion transcends aesthetics, serving as a bridge between identity and culture. Her designs carry the spirit of the Amazon, celebrating its beauty and traditions through a sustainable and thoughtful approach to fashion.
