ABOUT
I REFER TO THE BRAND IN SHORT AS 'STABLE GLAM' WHERE EQUESTRIAN SPORT MEETS GLAMOUR.
MY COLLECTIONS ARE ROOTED IN THE CONTRAST BETWEEN MY RURAL SPANISH UPBRINGING AND THE ENERGY OF URBAN LIFE. SINCE STARTING MY DESIGN PRACTICE, I HAVE BLENDED RUSTIC TEXTURES WITH MODERN, ARCHITECTURAL SHAPES TO REJECT TRADITIONAL GENDER STEREOTYPES. INCLUSIVITY IS KEY IN EACH GARMENT AND FLOWS WITH INDIVIDUALITY OVER CONFORMITY. THEREFORE ALL PRODUCTS ARE UNISEX AND CAN BE ORDERED IN EITHER MENS OR WOMENS SIZES. I EXPLORE WHAT THE FASHION ENVIRONMENT COULD LOOK IN 100 YEARS, FOCUSING ON LEATHERWORK TO REFLECT SUSTAINABLE POSSIBILITIES. WE PRODUCE EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR LONDON STUDIO TO OVERSEE PRODUCTION AND MAINTAIN A CIRCULAR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BRAND.
I AM AN AVID PAINTER SPECIALIZING IN EXPRESSIONISM. THIS PRACTICE IS THERAPEUTIC FOR ME, AS IT ALLOWS ME TO ENGAGE WITH VAST THOUGHTS AND EXPLORE MY EMOTIONS THROUGH UNCONTROLLED EXPRESSION. AS A RESULT, I LIKE TO INCORPORATE PAINTING INTO MY DESIGN WORK TO EXPLORE COLOUR AND HOW TO COMBINE IT EFFECTIVELY.
PRODUCTION PROCESS OVERVIEW
EACH GARMENT IS CRAFTED IN-HOUSE AT OUR LONDON STUDIO, WHERE OUR TEAM ENSURES METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND QUALITY CONTROL. FOR SPECIALIZED LEATHER PIECES, WE COLLABORATE WITH AN EXPERT LEATHER FACTORY LOCATED JUST ABOVE OUR STUDIO, WHERE SKILLED ARTISANS FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON REFINED LEATHER CONSTRUCTION. OUR HANDBAGS AND SHOES ARE PRODUCED IN ITALY, LEVERAGING ITALIAN EXPERTISE TO GUARANTEE EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS.
LIFE
I WAS BORN IN MUNICH, GERMANY, ON THE 26TH OF MAY, 1997. MY FAMILY MOVED TO SPAIN WHEN I WAS UNDER ONE YEAR OLD, AND I GREW UP IN MALLORCA UNTIL I WAS 16. BEFORE PURSUING FASHION FULL-TIME, I WAS AN AVID EQUESTRIAN RIDER, STARTING AT THE AGE OF 4 UNTIL I MOVED TO LONDON AT 21. I COMPETED PROFESSIONALLY IN SHOW JUMPING FROM THE AGE OF 14, REPRESENTING MY REGION IN SEVERAL SPANISH AND GERMAN CHAMPIONSHIPS.
I MOVED BACK TO BERLIN WITH 16 TO FINISH SCHOOL, WHICH WAS AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE THAT STRENGTHENED MY DRIVE TO PURSUE FASHION. I COMPLETED A HOSPITALITY DEGREE THERE AFTER SCHOOL, WHICH WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. SOON AFTER, AT 21, I MOVED TO LONDON, A CITY I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE IN. GROWING UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, IN A FAIRLY RURAL SETTING WITH HORSES AND PALM TREES SURROUNDING BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES, MY DESIRE TO FIND MY PEOPLE WAS STRONG. BERLIN GAVE ME MY FIRST TASTE OF WHAT WAS OUT THERE, AND I KNEW I WANTED TO MOVE TO LONDON SINCE MY TIME IN SPAIN. LONDON EMBODIES ELEMENTS OF CAMP, TRADITION, REBELLION, AND CREATIVITY—ALL OF WHICH RESONATED WITH ME.
SHORTLY AFTER MOVING TO LONDON, I BEGAN STUDYING AT THE LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION, WHERE I GRADUATED WITH A BA IN FASHION DESIGN (WOMENSWEAR). DURING MY STUDIES, I WORKED FOR CRAIG GREEN, MATTY BOVAN, AND MANDI LENNARD OF 'MANDI'S BASEMENT,' WHERE I GAINED VALUABLE EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS.
