"I think everything happened naturally, taking the steps slowly. I have always been interested in all forms of art and home told me that created all the time but did not give out the result of that creativity. And fashion became the best vehicle. " Throughout this process of organic growth, Pepa has been toying with various ideas. One of the most striking was his collaboration with Samsung Ego within the Innovation Project. After investigating with the textile technology institute designed Aitex eight looks with hidrocrómicos tissue: changing color on contact with water. "It was a timely experience, something unusual that allowed me to experiment with other tissues and especially with the idea of ​​performance, a different parade" account.

But despite that, his vision of fashion focuses on "storytelling" in "share experiences". "To me what I really like is the clothing, garments. I always try to create a different experience, but without losing sight of the technical work. " What she likes to Pepa is "modeled" the fabric on the mannequin, show that "a square of fabric can be developed ways that apparently are not possible."

A few things he has been given bad so far. He fell into fashion thanks to chance: "It was through a short course in fashion design, never before had raised me, but it was a few months and try to enroll at the Istituto Europeo di Design directly". He then won a scholarship at Valentino. "With this award could lead the design team of the firm in Italy and never forget that experience," he explains; and later came the Madrid catwalk EGO, to embark on its current showcase the boards of Cibeles, now christened as Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week. Has an impeccable, fleeting and intense journey is the most notorious name from the list and still not sure that was expected to be among the elect.

"It is the best prize that exists in Spain and a huge opportunity to grow, especially as a company. Being a young brand is complicated, sometimes you give up some tissues by others or change your mind on economic issues; self-finance limits you a lot if you just started, "he explains. Their good work and great organization allows you to gradually expand the business greeting the international market, one of its major goals. "Buy at Opening Ceremony in Japan, in Tokyo and Osaka," and plans to forward to Italy, "I think my product fit nicely there and would love to emphasize with him in Milan," he clarified.

"Tyre much of Spain because I think there is an endless source of ideas that do not exploit enough in it. Important names such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Moschino, enhance our culture very much, then why not here? "he reasons. "I had a pipe with the collection that I elaborated on the tourism boom in Torremolinos in the seventies. Alfredo Landa watched movies, researching in the closet of my mother ... it's a shame we do not give them these moments in history the importance they deserve, "he adds. Moses explained very well through fashion, it is constant and has the same creative inconsistency that good designers.

"And if you win?" I ask. "It would mean giving the final leap. The new wave of new Spanish talent is going strong, we know what we want and where we go to get it, we move a lot; It would be the big push. "

Spain shot a lot because I think it is an inexhaustible source of ideas that do not exploit enough
