Jasmin Rodriguez, a proud Puerto Rican designer born & raised in New York City, originally launched her widely popular blog, Vintage Vandalizm, in 2008, showcasing her sinfully seductive style and creativity as a multimedia artist and muse.

What started out as an online hobby capturing her passion for old Hollywood and thrifting quickly transformed into a successful platform, reaching thousands of readers from across the globe, helping to lead the neo-retro movement impacting the fashion industry.

Today, Rodriguez is determined to honor the seemingly forgotten ethnic pinups from our past through her line.

“My whole life, I have always spoken to people through my personal style,” said Rodriguez. “I have always celebrated individualism. Clothing has always empowered me. But the dream was to see women wear my designs and also become empowered. I want them to become fearless and still look fierce.

“Ultimately, my goal is to illustrate my passions through clothes as one of the few Puerto Rican designers in the world.”
