Founder, Creative Director & Couture Design Architect of Maison de Stoi

Founded by Stoi Galindez in 2000, Stoi’s Design Co. is a multidisciplinary creative company rooted in couture fashion, craftsmanship, and innovative design. In 2018, the company created Maison de Stoi as an exclusive luxury retail concept and fashion house to unite its established brands under one distinguished identity.

Maison de Stoi encompasses couture and ready-to-wear fashion, creative direction, styling, editorial production, and immersive brand experiences. Every creation reflects artistry, individuality, and uncompromising attention to detail.

Maison de Stoi is not a fast-fashion, resale, or thrift-based company. Every design is original and developed in-house—from the initial concept and fabric selection to construction, fitting, and final presentation. This thoughtful process allows the Maison to preserve the quality, originality, and craftsmanship behind every garment.

As Founder, Creative Director, and Couture Design Architect, Stoi leads the vision behind every brand, collection, and experience alongside her wife and creative partner, Soul Renee. Together, they create timeless designs and carefully curated experiences that celebrate authenticity, personal expression, and modern luxury.

For Stoi, design is an interconnected language that brings together fashion, artistry, storytelling, and atmosphere to create experiences that inspire, elevate, and endure.

Ready-to-Wear

Founded by CHRIS SCOTT, DYES EFFX is a Columbia-based creative studio where fashion, art, and community converge. Drawing from a foundation in photography and design, CHRIS transforms premium garments into wearable works of art through craftsmanship, storytelling, and collaboration. His work extends beyond fashion into interior design and creative workshops that encourage others to explore their own artistic potential.

This season, DYES EFFX presents ELEMENTS, a collection inspired by the natural forces that shape both our environment and the human experience. Through bold color, texture, and one-of-a-kind artistry, the collection celebrates transformation, connection, and the beauty found in individuality. Each garment is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the harmony between creativity and self-expression.

Guided by the belief that creativity has the power to connect and transform, DYES EFFX creates fashion that is more than clothing—it is wearable art designed to tell a story, spark conversation, and inspire those who wear it.
