Claudia Durany and Sayana Durany

About

Claudia and Sayana Durany are twin sisters and the founders of Gimaguas, a Barcelona-based fashion brand established in 2018. The name "Gimaguas" comes from the Cuban word for twins, reflecting their close creative partnership. Their work is deeply inspired by their travels and a Mediterranean vision that blends with global cultural influences. Their collections focus on relaxed silhouettes, technical knitwear, bespoke prints, and craft-inspired details that combine artisanal traditions with contemporary design aesthetics. They collaborate with artists and artisans worldwide—from Mexico to Madagascar—to create pieces that celebrate craftsmanship and individuality. The Durany sisters have cultivated a distinctive style characterized by technical crochet-knit dresses ideal for layering over pastel swimwear, sequin-embellished halterneck tops, flowy skirts, as well as statement knits and vibrant patterned denim. Their designs resonate with an effortless yet sophisticated spirit appealing to a global audience while maintaining strong ties to local production in Spain. Gimaguas has gained recognition in notable fashion circles; its creations have been embraced by celebrities such as Rosalía and Lily-Rose Depp. Through their brand's journey since 2018, Claudia and Sayana continue to champion creativity rooted in cultural dialogue while producing sustainable high-quality garments designed primarily in Barcelona.
