"Have you ever wondered how many clothes we buy without thinking, use little of them and finally save? And there are years left lying around in the wardrobe, with no use at all. We also throw away many clothes with minimal use. Clothes that we could reuse, give them new life.
This retrospective time of pandemic finds me in the countryside, meeting again with my ancestral places, momentarily far from the vortex of the big city. My people had so much to tell me, so much information that I decided to channel it into a new collection: El Triunfo Reloaded, a collection in which the starting point is my root, my land, my ancestors, a return to the places and the environment that saw me born and grow up. El Triunfo, my village, tells me about my earliest experiences, so I chose to start from the clothes of my close environment, my family, my references. With time to search and stir, I came across my memories, a lot of clothes that have been in my house for more than 83 years, a minimal example: the pink disabillé that my grandmother, my father's mother, gave to my mother for her wedding night (1973), there in the chest, intact, with her story ready to tell, and so the list goes on. In the picture there are some of those clothes, telling us their stories of past experiences.
There is only one secret, to let the garments speak for themselves, to listen to them, not to force them, to let them express themselves.
