“Carlos de Moya is one of the Dominican designers with the most solid career and the most solid and powerful personal voice. With the ruins of San Nicolás de Bari as the backdrop, his Caña Brava collection was one of the highlights of Dominicana Moda 2019, with prints and silhouettes that alluded to the Guloya, Gagá, and Congos De Villa Mella traditions. The materials and constructions of the garments focused on highlighting Caribbean sensuality through the fluidity of movement, as if dancing on the body. Sophisticated and with a global vision rooted in local traditions, his proposal is what every creative and business model aiming for internationalization should aspire to.”

Jose Forteza

Vogue Mexico & Latinamerica

Carlos de Moya is much more than just a name in fashion. He is sophistication, detail, quality, and above all, glamour and unique style. There's no exaggeration in defining who this Dominican designer is. His pieces reveal an exponent who has elevated the country's name in foreign lands.

Marta Queliz

Listin Diario, Dominican Republic

He has a look that inspires confidence and his actions back him up. He is very coherent and I am not the only one who thinks so: José Forteza, senior editor of Vogue and GQ Mexico, told me the same thing after Arnaldo's fashion show at Dominicana Moda, for which Carlos De Moya was also designing this year. That if as a human being he has these gifts, as a designer he surpasses him. It is as if his charisma found a way to magnify itself in fashion.
