Juan Delgado Martinez. Juan was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to humble hard working parents and is the youngest of five children. He arrived in Westchester, New York at a very young age where his fascination for art, beauty and curiosity to learn about other cultures, was piqued by the melting pot that is New York. At a very young age he always believed “the sky’s the limit” and the American Dream was among the stars. Embarking on the journey of opening his own brand was enlightening because design was an outlet to express feelings with no words and a beautiful way to tell his story as well as society’s untold stories. With a love of art and an eye that found beauty in the everyday, Juan was a daydreamer; an outgoing person that enjoys bringing people together. Fashion served as an outlet that provided the opportunity for self expression and the ability to lead with a smile.
Delgado New York is Juan Delgado personified. It aims to serve as a beacon of inspiration, individuality, and to transcend ever evolving trends while keeping creativity at the forefront.

Delgado New York was established by Dominican–American Juan Delgado Martinez through the coaching of fashion business expert Barbra Sessim which helped Juan bring his vision to reality by creating his brand which went further then just articles of clothing, making pieces that transcend the boundaries of sex,age and body type making sure inclusivity is at the forefront with an effortless approach while making everyone feel exclusive. The journey started with choosing a debut collection that spoke to his heart personally and showcased his upbringing and his culture. The collection chosen titled Brewed Elegance stems from my mothers kitchen and her love of coffee, a collection that could truly speak to the world. The coffee experience was an experience I shared with my mom and connected us through research. I found out coffee is a ritual that connects the whole world no matter the walk of life. An ancient ritual that still connects society.
