Designed by Claudia Q

Named after a character from Gabriel García Márquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” this sweater is a nod to the novel that profoundly shaped my view of reality. Aureliano, the founder of the magical town of Macondo, the most beautiful city imagined in literature, symbolizes the book’s enchanting realism. This piece captures the essence of seeing the world through a magical lens, where every detail holds a deeper meaning. - Claudia Q
