In Spain we’ve got a great history of art, no? We’ve got painters like Velasquez; he’s probably one of my greatest influences; I could spend hours and hours at El Prado, looking at all these pictures. It feels like our history has been richer and grander than [it is] nowadays, and we really need to look back to understand who we are and project a beautiful future—or what I imagine to be the future. Yesterday I was talking to someone about [a] handmade future.
In every interview I get [the question] “Aren’t you afraid of all this success?” and I’m like, I haven’t seen success really yet. Success comes, you know, like [with] Balenciaga, after 50 or 60 years of work, and then you have an exhibition at the Met or whatever. Success [is] relatively small in my career, I’ve only been around for three years and a half. Of course I have pieces at the Met and things like that, but I still have a lot to work on in the structure of the company.
“I take a lot of inspiration from the Spanish Baroque period. I love the excess, the duskiness, the dark backgrounds, the exaggerated passion, the opulence, the decadence…. The color black is something I investigated in my last Fall collection; I’m realizing that the power of black is that it can sometimes say more than all other colors together. In Spain, black clothes have been so present throughout history and culture, from the portraits of El Greco to the widows portrayed by Jose Achiagam.
