I aim to keep things as raw and as clear as possible.

I work with nature,

Reused fabrics and materials form the foundations of my designs.Discovering their unique qualities

and the struggle with the ideas on my mind excites me.

I search for alternative solutions to problems and hope to uncover the unexpected.I search for alternative solutions to problems and hope to uncover the unexpected.I adapt the real to the imaginary.

This project is based on reusing materials. By recicling them we gave them a new life.

I reused a piece of aluminum I found in a dump a few kilometers from Segovia, my hometown. With my father’s help and his tools I pulled it and I gave it the shape I wanted, bearing in mind it was going to be worn by a person.

I combined this piece with a silk organdy pants, to offset the heavy look of the top. So the silk was floated as a weave while the aluminium flew over it.So the silk was floated as a weave while the aluminium flew over it.

Kaos und Ordnung

This project has its roots in the philosophic concepts of chaos and order.

I looked for the kaos within the order.I looked for the order within the chaos.

I found it in something as simple and natural as the fabric itself.I found the simil of the “order inside the kaos” because I used real technic climbing knots

and real climbing cord inside natural fur which i consider to be chaos.and real climbing cord inside natural fur which i consider to be chaos.

Assuming nature is chaos, and the man-made tools to reach it are order,my project is the mélange of the two.

For this project I create bothan EXTREME outfit and its COMERCIAL version.
