A course by Betto García
Betto García was trained in the London workshop of the formidable milliner Edwina Ibbotson when he was just 22. There, he worked on commissions for the British royal family and attendees of the Ascot races. He is currently based out of his artisanal workshop in Valencia and his pieces can be found on sale at the concept store The Curated NYC in New York.
Throughout his career he has worked with Spanish names like Palomo Spain on his debut collaboration at New York Fashion Week, Juan Vidal, and Outsiders Division. He has also created tailored pieces for costume designer Ana López Cobos who has showcased his work in theaters and cinemas in Esto no es la casa de Bernarda Alba (This Is Not the House of Bernarda Alba) and Salir del ropero.
