Ilse Valfre is a successful fashion designer and professional illustrator who was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. She described how growing up throughout her years in Tijuana really inspired her, “Growing up looking at street art inspired me to be creative myself.” What then came out of this inspiration was the founding of Valfre – an LA-based art, accessories brand and apparel which she founded in late 2013. The Valfre brand rapidly became known, as it has been located in over 250 stores all over the world. These included Nordstrom’s and Urban Outfitters and was overall a global inspiration for creative minds.
The goal of Valfre is to be creative in bringing about her unique products. What she creates is a reflection of the psychedelic world that she has produced for her customers. Her work specifically explores the tension between vulnerability and being confident. Through this, she transports her audience and their hearts into everything she creates.
