For the Para Ti Gala, Maximiliano Jitrik created a dress specially conceived for India Ortega, his muse and starting point for this piece. The design arose from the bond between them and from an artisanal process carried out directly on her body.
The garment was built using the moulage technique, which allows working directly on the body to shape the silhouette and achieve a unique drape. Beneath it, Jitrik designed a corset with a dyed edging in a nude tone, conceived as a first skin and as a kind of “mannequin” on which the dress was constructed.
India Ortega y un diseño súper glamoroso
From this base unfolds a mermaid silhouette, accompanied by a buche that strategically reveals the corset. The play of transparencies, overlays, and textures is one of the main protagonists of the proposal and responds to one of the aesthetic pursuits the designer shares with India.
The dress is crafted in embroidered tulle with ice-toned organza flowers, embellished with crystals that impart delicate pearly reflections. The result is an ethereal and sophisticated piece, where transparency and structure coexist in balance.
“The latency of this dress is the time I shared with India,” Jitrik explained when describing the creative process behind the piece.
Thus, the design not only functions as a gala dress but also as the expression of a creative connection: a piece built on the body of its muse, where artisanal work, textures, and the silhouette’s architecture tell their own story.
A night to celebrate Argentine fashion
