GERARDO ENCINAS

ENCINAS DESIGNS

Gerardo Encinas is the owner & designer of Encinas Designs and is certainly no stranger to pushing boundaries. His self-taught fashion stylings have made him a mainstay of Fashion Week Columbus since 2016, and his designs have been selected to appear on several FWC Look Book covers. He has designed multiple dresses for notable Columbus drag queen Nina West, who rose to fame with her appearance on RuPaul Drag Race.

Gerardo has collaborated with Opera Columbus in different projects including their 2019 Opera Gala. One of his most recent achievements is his newly opened Encinas Designs boutique in Downtown Columbus, featuring plenty of the eye-catching looks he is known for including couture gowns, bridal dresses and men and women ready-to-wear designs.
