Hello, I am Celestino Garcia, a Creative Direction Consultant for trend forecast agencies plus retail fashion, interior companies and lifestyle brands. I offer three core Creative Direction Consultant Services: Trend Forecasting, Concept Design and Fashion Illustration.
I grew up in Northern Spain and have lived in London, Barcelona and Amsterdam. I’m bi-lingual speaking Spanish and English (plus limited French). I am currently based in Amsterdam but work with clients throughout the world.
I took an introduction to Design at the prestigious Central St Martins College of Art. I then proceeded to graduate with a BA from the London College of Fashion which are part of the University of Arts London (UAL).
My career, in the world of fashion, began at John Richmond where I worked on the Women’s collection. At Boomerang Media I was a freelancer producing artwork which was published as posters and postcards. For El Corte Ingles I was a trend and product researcher in the UK.
I moved to Barcelona to take a position at Mango where I worked for 9 years as a Design/Coordination Manager. My role was to research concepts and provide creative input for all the fashion lines. (Mens/Womens/Casual/Limited Edition Collections).
I relocated to Amsterdam to work at We Fashion which is a high street fashion brand as a Creative Trend Manager. I created seasonal trend directions for the women’s collections right through to how the garments were merchandised in-store.
The above is a brief synopsis of my career, you can view the full CV on LinkedIn.
In 2016 I set up my own business to provide freelance consultancy services to fashion, interior and lifestyle companies who appreciate working with an external Creative Direction Consultant. Please contact me here for further information about your project, I look forward to hearing from you.
