Matter in the Garden of Wonders: A Dream of Textures and Colors

In the heart of a garden where magic and psychedelia flourish, my collection, "Matter in the Garden of Wonders," was born. These pieces, part of my upcycling project, were created from scraps of fabric I've accumulated over time, some combined with secondhand garments that are now reborn in a new light.

This garden is a mystical place for me, where trees communicate with each other through mycelium and fairies whisper secrets between the leaves, while fireflies illuminate the path with their ethereal light. Among the daffodils that seem to dance to the rhythm of the wind, I designed these pieces, imbued with the energy of that enchanted landscape. This is how I experience and feel each garment: a fusion of colors, prints, and textures that defy the limits of reality.

Amidst silks as soft as clouds, velvets that caress the skin, and cottons that envelop us, I unfold a fairy tale starring mushrooms, flowers, butterflies, strawberries, and tiny luminous beings. The rosebushes, with their mysterious petals and thorns, bring a magical essence to each design. Every detail of this collection is a celebration of lucid dreams that make me question reality and invite me to transform it, just as I mold textiles on a mannequin to create a dress.

It's a journey where fantasy meets fashion, guided by the dance of fireflies and the sparkle of fairies, inviting me to dream, play, and lose myself in a world full of wonder.

This garden is a mystical place for me, where trees communicate with each other through the mycelium, fairies whisper secrets among the leaves, and fireflies illuminate the path with their ethereal light. Among brugmansias that seem to dance to the rhythm of the wind, I designed these pieces infused with the energy of that enchanted landscape. That's how I live and feel each garment: a fusion of colors, patterns, and textures that challenge the boundaries of reality.

Materia en el Jardín de las Maravillas: Un Sueño de Texturas y Colores

En el corazón de un jardín donde la magia y la psicodelia florecen, nace mi colección Materia en el Jardín de las Maravillas. Estas piezas, que forman parte de mi propuesta upcycling, han sido creadas a partir de retazos de telas que he acumulado a lo largo del tiempo, algunas combinadas con prendas de segunda mano que ahora renacen bajo una nueva luz.

Este jardín es un lugar místico para mí, donde los árboles se comunican entre sí a través del micelio y las hadas susurran secretos entre las hojas, mientras las luciérnagas iluminan el sendero con su luz etérea. Entre floripondios que parecen bailar al ritmo del viento, diseñé estas piezas, impregnadas por la energía de ese paisaje encantado. Así es como vivo y siento cada prenda: una fusión de colores, estampados y texturas que desafían los límites de la realidad.

Entre sedas suaves como las nubes, terciopelos que acarician la piel y algodones que nos envuelven, despliego un cuento de hadas protagonizado por hongos, flores, mariposas, fresas y pequeños seres luminosos. Los rosales, con sus pétalos y espinas misteriosas, aportan una esencia mágica a cada diseño. Cada detalle de esta colección es una celebración de los sueños lúcidos que me hacen cuestionar la realidad y me invitan a transformarla, del mismo modo en que moldeo los textiles sobre un maniquí para crear un vestido.

Es un viaje donde la fantasía se encuentra con la moda, guiado por la danza de las luciérnagas y el brillo de las hadas, invitándome a soñar, a jugar y a perderme en un mundo lleno de maravillas.
