Juan Pablo Quinones Muniz

biograhy

I was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico in September 30, 1987. My parents are Fernando and Marta Quinones and I have four brothers and two sisters. I started my studies in fashion in the Pontifical Catholic Uni-

versity in Ponce after I completed my Associates degree in Chemical Engineering. I continued my

fashion studies in the International School of Design after I moved to San Juan. As a student I participated in the Vibrations runway show, a yearly runway

for students who have finished the Associates De-gree. This show gives me the chance to be feature in imagen" magazine as one of the new designers

in the island. I also did an internship with world renowned designer Gustavo Arango where I continue

to develop my skills and further my knowledge

CREATIVE VISION

As a designer, I introduce dyna-mism in my creations by cutting the fabric in different ways and living each one of my pieces its

unique style and personality. I like to play with different textiles and textures to make each one of my pieces stand out and speak for

themselves and make my designs unique with a touch of modern classism that

brings out my unique style.
