ALTUZARRA is the namesake label of Joseph Altuzarra; who was born and raised in Paris. After completing a BA in Art and Art History at Swarthmore College in Philadelphia, Altuzarra went on to refine his design skills at Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Givenchy. It is this invaluable training combined with his distinct experiences that allows Altuzarra to lavish his talents upon his own architecturally focused and art inspired collection. Joseph Altuzarra was named the recipient of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award in November 2011.
