Cesar Galindo

Cesar Galindo was exposed to fundamentals of design at a very early age. His mother was an excellent seamstress and his father’s sense of style gave him the ability to understand and conceptualize clothing design. As a teenager, Cesar made dresses and sold them in consignment stores around his hometown of Houston. Although naturally gifted, his formal training began when he worked for Miami City Ballet as the assistant to José Varona III, where he learned the intricacies of costume design. Mr. Galindo has worked for both Calvin Klein and Dolce and Gabbana, and has designed costumes for such celebrities as Madonna, Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliot. He created the wardrobe for Chaka Khan’s World Tour with Prince in 1999. His most recent accomplishments include designing the Spring 2011 collection of Gwen Stefani’s line LAMB and Joan Jett’s red carpet and world tour wardrobe. He also re-launched the eponymous couture cocktail and eveningwear label Cesar Galindo.
