LA MARCA

Tony Vergara es una marca de ropa y accesorios de Panamá, fundada en 2014 por el diseñador homónimo.
THE BRAND IS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS FUSION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL, WITH A FOCUS ON REFINED VERSATILITY. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM ART, BIODIVERSITY, AND CULTURAL REFERENCES OF PANAMA, TONY VERGARA COMBINES THESE ELEMENTS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TAILORING AND THE USE OF FABRICS ENHANCED WITH APPLICATIONS AND ORIGINAL PRINT CREATIONS. THIS COMBINATION HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE COMMON THREAD IN MOST OF HIS COLLECTIONS. 
TONY VERGARA HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A LEADING TALENT IN THE LUXURY "READY TO WEAR" SECTOR IN PANAMA CITY.

PRINTS

PRINTING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE IN TONY VERGARA'S COLLECTIONS. THIS STARTED AS A WAY TO ADD INDIVIDUALITY TO THE DESIGN: THE FISH AND PLANT PRINT OF 2021 QUICKLY BECAME A RECOGNIZABLE ELEMENT OF HIS COLLECTIONS AND BEGAN TO APPEAR IN EACH ONE AND EVERY SHOW. A WIDE RANGE OF IMAGES HAS BEEN USED OVER THE YEARS: FLOWERS, ANIMALS, PHOTOGRAPHS, ART, AND GRAPHICS. THE PRINTING HAS EXTENDED TO SHIRTS, SCARVES, DRESSES, TIES, AND JACKETS TO ADD INTEREST TO MORE CLASSIC PIECES.
