Thank you very much, I can hardly believe it happened! My plan is to invest every last euro in continuing to expand the brand. My current ideas and work are focused on developing the website to serve as a showcase for my work and create a sales system for collections and other products I am creating.

Landsketch was a presentation to the real world; I was so nervous when I was there since it is my most experimental and personal project. On the other hand, FATMAN is my most ambitious project both in concept and textiles. It’s a unique new aesthetic for men that supports a powerful imagination, with a particular and careful way of doing things. The collection also never loses sight of ecofriendly practice, research in pattern making and inventive use of fabric.

Yes definitely, I do not know if this makes me a rebel (hopefully) but after 10 years in the textile industry, I ended up very saturated with banal topics that don’t contain another discourse other than different forms of flower or animal print in trend that season. The world has many interesting stories that although harsh or tragic - why not tell them? I am bored by fashion that does not have something new to say to me.

I am one of those restless minds that want to create concepts and things all the time. But no, fashion was not something that captivated me since I was young, it was as you said, a gradual experience that continues to surprise me more and more today.

My creative processes are totally detached from sales or product marketing criteria. That’s why my product stands out. It's not that I don't believe in marketing, we are surrounded by it. But I don't understand creating something to please others without making me happy and convincing myself.

RUBEARTH = REUSE / BEING / EARTH / ART. The name of the brand contains my proposal to the world. My idea is to recover textile waste or stock that meets certain requirements. (100% organic and recycled). Combining with a local production system and 100% handmade and made in Spain. After spending many years [in the industry], as I have, you get to see a lot of wrongdoings. I wanted to break away from all this. I think that, like me, many thought the same - the industry has changed due to the need to clean up its image, but even so, there is still 90% left to be solved.

Yes, indeed I was immersed in an atmosphere as in a war movie; empty streets (it really seemed that a bomb had fallen), extreme isolation, devastating news, and with high doses of pessimism, it is currently our day to day so it is impossible not to be inspired by this particular situation. But, Rubearth with bright use of colour and clashing also has that essence of risk, optimism and vigour.

Well, I spent 6 months thinking about Rubearth from 7:00 am until 10:00 pm curfew. Then I would run back home and go to bed to dream about Rubearth. It was very hard but it was worth every second invested.

My idea is to start selling in big stores in Spain and across Europe. Right now I am immersed in looking for new lines of inspiration and materials to launch collections and continue to gain recognition and happiness.
