So we thought that Spain’s fashion was dead!!! not far from that. After Balenciaga, Sybilla and Loewe I haven’t seen any Spanish designer do anything interesting until I discovered ALVARNO.
It was last season when I heard about this two designers (Arnaud and Alvaro) When I studied their collections I realized that their patterns, shapes and general look where very intricate. The scent is very Parisian. You can find lightness in their evening wear, structure in the day wear. They create very much well rounded collections.
And, who are they? if you go on their web page (www.alvarno.com) you will see that they both worked with the master (Karl Legarfeld) and it shows. It is very interesting to see that Alvaro studied at FIT, while Arnaud at “Chambre syndicale de la couture Parisienne” this means that you can see the French allure and the great USA vision in markets.
What do they need to make it big? They have to move to Paris and have a show as fantastic as their clothes with good models, DJ, lights, etc…. And then they need to have Penelope Cruz dressed in the red carpet by them, that would give them the global status.
