LORENA CORDERO
A VISION OF ART & LUXURY
Founded in 2020, Lorena Cordero is a luxury fashion house where artistry meets haute couture. Renowned for her distinctive aesthetic, Lorena’s debut creations were one-of-a-kind handbags, each a wearable masterpiece. Infused with her artistic background, these exclusive pieces seamlessly blend photography, sculptural metalwork, and resin elements, elevating accessories into true objets d’art.
Simultaneously, she introduced her first couture collection, “The Woman I Live In,” inspired by her evocative photographic series. This collection celebrated the resilience and power of women throughout history, portraying them as warriors rather than victims—granting them the voice and presence so often eclipsed by society.
With the success of her handbags and inaugural collection, the House of Lorena Cordero was born, culminating in the opening of her first flagship boutique in Ecuador in November 2020.
Since then, Lorena Cordero has unveiled four visionary collections, each an evolution of her artistic and sartorial mastery. Her fifth and most commanding collection, Nyctophilia, was a groundbreaking triumph, first introduced in an exclusive solo show in Quito, Ecuador, and later unveiled as the climactic closing runway presentation with Fashion Week Studio during Paris Fashion Week in March 2024.
Currently, the designer is crafting her highly anticipated sixth collection, “Lies and Secrets,” a profound exploration of mystery and revelation. This collection is set to make its world debut in February 2025 during Paris Fashion Week, promising to be her most daring and mesmerizing work yet.
LIES AND SECRETS COLLECTION
By Lorena Cordero
Life itself is my muse, an intricate web of truths concealed beneath layers of deception. Lies and Secrets is a collection born from deeply personal experiences, yet it speaks to a universal reality—wherever we turn, we encounter concealed truths and whispered deceits. The human mind is a labyrinth, its stories unfolding through winding paths—some illuminated, others shrouded in mystery.
This collection is a reflection of that complexity, woven with layers of rich textures and intricate details. Red and black take center stage, embodying strength, passion, power, and confrontation, while also evoking pain and revelation. The rose emerges as the collection’s central motif—historically a symbol of love, yet one of duality. Its delicate petals contrast against its sharp, unyielding thorns, mirroring the tension between beauty and pain, trust and betrayal.
Each garment carries this tension, adorned with crystals and thorn-like embellishments that evoke blood and sacrifice. Fabric petals and heavy textures allow us to veil our innermost thoughts, while linings feature delicate embroidery of my handwritten reflections—secrets whispered in thread, invisible yet ever-present. This collection is a deeply personal narrative, but also a shared human experience. Every person who has collaborated with me on this journey has brought their own encounters with deception—moments of silence, complicity, concealment, or exposure.
Each stitch in Lies and Secrets holds a truth, a lie, and a secret all at once.
This collection invites reflection, urging us to confront the very nature of our own veiled realities.
Who are you? A keeper of secrets? Or a guardian of lies?
