A love affair

Ruben Toledo was born in Havana, Cuba in 1961 and is at once a painter, sculptor, illustrator, fashion chronicler and critic, and surrealist.Isabel Toledo was born in Cuba. She attended the Fashion Institute of Technology (NY) and Parsons School of Design (NY).

Yesterday was the FGI Lifetime Achievement Award to Isabel And Ruben Toledo presented by Vanidades Fashion Show.

Isabel and Ruben Toledo’s  surreal view of life brings humor and unconventionality to her industrial world. Two highly talented individuals working in synergy. Muse to her husband’s sculpture, painting and illustration, Isabel Toledo conceives of shapes and structures to clothe the human body.
