I'm William Canales, a fashion designer and creative lead based in Paris.

For over a decade, I've designed collections across haute couture, ready-to-wear, loungewear, swimwear and intimate, from Giambattista Valli in Paris to studios in Lima, Shanghai and Montréal. I've led design teams, directed photoshoots and lookbooks, and followed each piece from the first sketch to the final fitting.

Today, I'm Lead Designer at DIM, overseeing four brands and collections for France, Spain, Italy and Germany. Alongside, I develop my own creative projects, exploring my personal vision of design, from fittings to runway shows.

I hold a Master in Fashion Design from the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM), and my work has been recognised by the International Design Award (2021) and KOBE Design (2011).

I speak French, Spanish and English, and I'm open to design leadership roles and collaborations.
