Cesar achieved notoriety when his washed silk kimono dress made the cover of Elle magazine, July 1993, on supermodel Karen Mulder. Once America and the rest of the world
caught a glimpse of his designs, they wanted more. Galindo’s first trunk show was at the
renowned Martha’s International on Park Avenue and was followed at New York City
retail institution, Henri Bendel. Over the next decade, the brand CESAR GALINDO developed in distribution domestically and internationally at select retailers.
For the last twenty-two years, Cesar has balanced his time designing his own collection
as well as working as a contract designer for private clients and for established labels
including Dolce & Gabbana where he designed predominately for celebrities for nine
years followed by seven seasons for Calvin Klein Collection under the design direction of
Francisco Costa. His most recent assignment was at L.A.M.B., a contemporary women’s
collection launched by Gwen Stefani.
In October 2011, Galindo launched CZAR by Cesar Galindo, his secondary women’s
collection consisting predominately of dresses and soft separate components and varied edgier statement items. CZAR offers a younger sophisticated version of his signature
collection at a contemporary price point. Neiman Marcus’s online store, Cusp, launched
CZAR S12, with a successful overall selling performance.
Femininity, social occasion dresses, architecturally draped hems and necklines and a
rich color palette are inherent of Galindo and will remain present to both CESAR GALINDO Collection and CZAR. For Spring 2013, Galindo introduced “day to evening” bags in
unique form and in exotic skins to compliment his ready-to-wear collections.
