Fashion Designer, Jorge Del Busto

Jorge del Busto was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His grandmother, an accomplished artist and "woman of style," inspired and instilled Jorge's passion to draw and design. He started his career at the tender age of six when he attended art school. His talent and vision for design became visible when at the age of 12 he started sketching and designing clothes. He moved to America over 13 years ago to continue to enhance his skills and creativity. In 2003, he designed his first line of active/fitness wear. Immediately, he drew the attention of some up-scale boutique owners who decided to take a chance with Jorge and sell his line in their boutiques. His recognizable sexy designs became an immediate success. This year, he was able to launch his first line of evening gowns (couture) and sport-elegant designs. He was invited to participate in a runway show where they recognized Jorge as one of the top new Latin designers in the country. His stylish couture and sport-elegant designs were the high-light of the show. Since then his dresses and sport-elegant Collection have been featured in many local magazines and in February 2008, the Chicago Social Magazine featured his couture. His talent did not go un-noticed, and he was featured again in the Panache Magazine and even Streeterville’s Chamber of Commerce was impressed and featured some of his Collection in their website commercial www.streetervillechamber.org - click on the Streeterville Commercial.
