Mario Coello, born in Valencia, studied Fine Arts at the University of San Carlos and later moved to Milan where he specialized as a designer at the Istituto Marangoni. Throughout his career he has worked for some of the most important companies in the history of fashion, moving between the Italian pret-a-porter and the delicate craftsmanship of French Haute Couture.

In 2016, he decided to establish himself in Madrid, where he founded his own company and made his debut during the Mercedes Benz – Fashion Week.
