WHO WE ARE
THE GIGI is an emerging fashion house defined by tailored minimalism for socially visible women who lead with restraint and private power.
OUR STORY
The Gigi is a dream that was born when Angie Elizabeth was a little girl. She always struggled to find garments that she enjoyed wearing, when she was about 7 years old, she would be drawing clothing and models wearing those garments during her spare time. Her family always noticed she had a special talent and lots of creativity as she would come up with items that were unconventional and beautiful at the same time.
Our official project began when Angie moved to the United States. While being unemployed and a full-time mom, she had time to explore hobbies or other activities, that’s when she remembered she always liked drawing and creating clothes, so she got back into designing. As she started working, she knew she had to nurture that passion and started saving to venture in developing her first collection and bringing it to life.
In the development of our brand, we have started collaborating with entrepreneurs from Mexico who have a similar vision as us, that’s where we manufacture. When it comes to materials, we use textiles that are integrated from cotton, viscose, polyester, and a minimum of spandex but one of our main goals is to eventually turn from these types of fabrics to more eco-friendly and less treated textiles.
As the project continues to flourish, we envision The Gigi becoming a relevant brand known for the artistic form of expression and appeal of our product and eventually competing with iconic brands. We believe we are on the right path to fulfilling our vision and we look forward to having you along.

OUR PILLARS
The Gigi project is built around four pillars
Science
We understand that the world is in need of responsible preservation. We will pursue, through a connection with science, a consistent vision to protect our planet by integrating conscious methods during our creative and manufacturing processes, by utilizing sustainable fabrics and even creating new processes where they are needed, therefore having a positive impact for the current and future generations.
Nature
From ancient times until today, we had clothed our bodies relying entirely on what nature offered. Even though artificial fabrics have come to overtake the fashion industry, The Gigi project is committed to pursuing processes that honor the origins of clothing by working with earth friendly fabrics and recyclable methods.
Beauty
From the moment an idea is born to the moment it is presented, the concept of beauty must be honored. We believe that beauty brings a sense of joy and desire, as well as balance, and our pieces will always honor this purpose.
Art
Our collections will be a source of inspiration and wonder to all who see them, in order to fulfill this goal, our creative process will develop in the heart of passion and elegance.
