Anna Maria Yglesias Gahlenbeck

ArteZ University of the arts

Anna Gahlenbeck is a fashion designer born and raised in Germany, shaped by a richly multicultural heritage that includes Jewish, Spanish, and Peruvian roots. Her work is influenced by a layered family history, where tradition, migration, and memory have long intersected. With a quiet, precise design language, their collections reflect a respectful dialogue between the cultures that shaped them and the contemporary world they design for. From the German-Jewish side of the family, themes of structure, resilience, and traditional craftsmanship are constant. In the Spanish-Peruvian lineage, there is a deep appreciation for warmth in materiality and a sensitivity to detail.
