Mía Cristal Santiago Santana

International Fashion Academy

Hi, I’m Mía Cristal Santiago Santana — a 21-year-old fashion design student from the vibrant island of Puerto Rico, currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Fashion Design at IFA Paris. My work is driven by a deep appreciation for the beauty that emerges through careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. I believe fashion is more than just clothing — it’s an art form that speaks through texture, technique, and form. I love to experiment with new materials and innovative techniques, constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional design while honoring the elegance and complexity of high fashion. Through my designs, I aim to create garments that not only look stunning but also carry the quiet strength of thoughtful construction and bold ideas. ​
