FLORENCIA LÓPEZ MUJICA BSc.
Fashion Designer.
Originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, I am a fashion designer with a Garment Technician degree from Universidad ORT Uruguay and a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Textile Technologies with a focus on Fashion and Design from Amsterdam Fashion Institute.
Throughout my years of study, I have gained knowledge in trend research, mood board creation, concept development, as well as hands-on skills in garment construction, draping, pattern making, and 3D digital design. I am equally passionate about both the physical and digital aspects of fashion, and I thrive on learning and continuous improvement. My curiosity and dedication drive me to keep exploring new techniques and expanding my expertise in this ever-evolving field.
My early work experiences exposed me to people from diverse backgrounds, sparking my interest into fashion transparency and shaping my identity as a designer. I believe fashion is a powerful tool to raise awareness, so my goal as a designer is to help transform the industry into one that is ethical toward workers and sustainable for the planet. That’s why I have also participated in the minor “Makerslab” at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences focused on critical thinking, bioplastics development and their application in design.
I am fluent in Spanish and English, currently studying German (B1 level).
