With the launch of the new Fall/Winter 2021 collection, Miista has added clothing design to the brand to expand that lifestyle idea, that unique identity, “I think it's more interesting because we see clothing as an extension to shoes, and normally it's the opposite: as a general rule a brand starts with clothing and then they do shoes.” Villasenin tells us, as she's so excited about this new branch that feels as if she has started the project all over again while perpetuating the values that have always governed Miista.
If you've had a look at their Instagram profile you've probably seen a video or two of the manufacturing processes of her products – the shoe factory is in Alicante and the clothes factory in Galicia – and, as the Galician designer says, “Our values truly lie in creating beautiful products and being transparent in the process. Our Miista community really responds when we share behind the scenes films from our factory.” Following this transparency and honesty that represents the brand, today, at 5 pm (Spanish time), the factory will open its doors so that viewers can witness on stream their first runway from the factory. Read on to discover the ins and outs of the brand and its founder, what she believes in and what inspires her.
