in the world of dreams
Growing up with his great-grandmother, Victoria Hernandez, in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Agustin at an early age was already in a family in clothing and textiles. His great grandmother was a seamstress that created handmade garments with details that featured embroidery and beadwork. Agustin's great-uncle was a tailor as well, so he was well equipped with the basic equipment and skills needed at a young age.
Agustin left Mexico, leaving his grandmother, to live in Seattle, Washington with his parents in the United States to fulfill his American dream of becoming a designer. Over time, he moved with his father to South Dakota for a business endeavor in the cattle industry for some time. Sometime during the course of his junior high and College years Agustin and his family were in turmoil. From his family visa expiring, to the loss of paperwork in the immigration bureaucracy created setbacks and complicated restrictions that forced him to put his passion for fashion on hold.
As luck would have it, in 2014, Delgado and his fiancée hired an attorney to help him with his prolonged situation. Within a few weeks of vigorous communication, Agustin was able to obtain his green card and could finally continue his dream pursuit. Though he didn’t initially pursue it at the time, Agustin attended Wayne State and pursued an education degree, wanting to teach English as a second language.
Though he attended Wayne State, Delgado always kept an interest in sewing and creating fashion sketches. He would create custom designs with Avant Garde or Haute Couture looks in his spare time. Finally, with some encouragement from friends Delgado decided to take fashion design classes at Metropolitan Community College and his dreams were realized. Attending MCC immediately sparked his creative intuition, drawing inspiration from designers like Alexander McQueen, Guo Pei and soaked in all the additional knowledge needed to excel. A lot of Delgado encouragement and Influence comes from his instructor, Nancy.
