A San Antonio native, I have been in the art, fashion and antique industry for over 30+ years and designing for myself even longer. I own several businesses and continue to sell antiques, design, style and accessorize others on a daily basis. As an artist from an early age, my art and design work have always been about empowering the individual. I love to work with sustainable goods such as vintage textiles, rare and OOAK vintage jewelry and accessories, Mid Century home decor and many other types of antiques, textiles and collectables. I also enjoy collaborating with other artists and designers and have planned and executed many runway fashion and art shows, high profile photo shoots, small and large events along with many philanthropic art collaborations and initiatives.  I have a big place in my heart for the environment and as a humanitarian and advocate my main approach is to bring focus on  slow fashion, sustianable art and ethical goods to the forefront. I have a unique untamed ability to take and design with broken, unwanted, discarded objects and bring them to life! I call this Object Vertu, which in French means “the love of or taste for curious objects d’art”. My rare reworked reclaimed vintage textiles, art and accessories are what are new to the runway for the Untamable Sustainable Fashion Show and Event, a philanthropic initiative. My works of wearable art are selling worldwide to the modern fashionista, who consciously looks for unique designs and modern trends but who also wants to address the responsibilities of the fashion industry. My sustainable business continues to grow as I also continue to advocate for more slow fashion and sustainable textile art awareness in the industry and keep items out of the landfills.

"We always encourage sustainability in more ways than one and help keep objects, materials and clothing out of landfills. We only sell and use what is already available, circulating and what has already been in existence for many, many years and we will continue to work this way. Our passion is to work and rework and recreate while making a difference in this lifetime."-Amanda Alarcon-Hunter
