Tiziana Dominguez (16th November 1985, Ourense, Spain) is a fashion designer and artist. She is currently the creative director of the company Adolfo Dominguez, as well as a painter and sculptor. She is the youngest of the three daughters of designer Adolfo Domínguez and Elena González and is married to Juan Verde, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia in the United States Department of Commerce. Tiziana is part of the third generation of the company, founded in 1973 from a tailor’s shop run by her grandfather.

Training

Tiziana started her training abroad when she was seven years old. She studied in Great Britain, Austria and France, where she learned English, German and French. After finishing her A-levels in Great Britain, she studied a foundation course in Art & Design at Leeds College of Art, which she complemented with courses from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and Hampstead School of Art. She later moved to Vermont, USA, where she earned a degree in Economics from Middlebury College.

Design

From her post as Creative Director, Tiziana Dominguez designs the company’s collections, along with her father. In fact, her training as a painter and sculptor influence her creative process, of experimentation. She introduces ecological materials in all collections and backs sustainable fashion. In 2011, she presented her first 100% ecological line: ‘Green Me’, designer clothes made from latest generation organic and recycled fabrics.

Painting and sculpture

In May 2011, she presented her first painting exhibition: ‘Ants, horses & other relatives’. A figurative, expressionist collection, consisting of bold brush strokes, with a lot of colour, where she mixes oil paints with sand, coffee, sawdust, plants, insects and other materials. Her painting is inspired by animals and nature and reflects her concern for the environment. Her canvases are often transferred to the prints in the collections presented at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week and her sculptures inspire the designs of the company’s jewellery.

Corporate ethics

In 2009, she founded the Corporate Social Responsibility Department (CSR) at Adolfo Dominguez S.A. Her achievements include the publication of the Animal Welfare Policy (2010). Through this document, the company rejects the use of exotic animal skins, as well as violent activities or animal abuse, such as plucking feathers from live birds or mulesing. They only use leather for bags and accessories, provided that it is a subproduct of the meat industry.
