Agatha Ruiz De La Prada

[sstrang]

I've recently come across a designer I'ver never heard of, based in Spain. Is anyone familar with this designer? She has some REALLY "out there" designs (futuristic). The videos can be seen on ftv.com

Edit: Sorry for creating this thread, I was not aware that a thread containing this designer was already available.

Haha, I have a notebook i bought at Chapters by de la Prada... Didn't even know that it was an actual designer until recently. The notebook is pretty cute though, dunno on the actual designs.

Im very familiar w/ Ms. De La Prada.

Her crap is hideous. She is royalty which explains everything.

I love it when youre nasty ... I do like her knitwear ... and the designs draw inspiration from childlike innocence which is OK on my book

Pics? I've heard about pens and notebooks with her name, but I didn't know she did clothes.

you know,her work isn't of my personal taste but she has a such wonderful spirit about her that I can't help but to enjoy.

plus,she's got a great heart,doing Designers Against Aids. Royalty she may be but what's the fashion royalty like galliano and lagerfeld doing? lavishing in their ego's....

That's a great point you made, about typical designers being consumed by ego and fame. I commend Agatha for her complete individuality, doing something that is totally different than what all the other designers are doing. Her vision is so much less cliche and mainstream than the rest of the fashion industry.

She has a special collection on yoox right now.

It's not my style, but I can see how someone could have fun with a piece or two. I don't know how this compares with her regular collections, but apart from a few semi-expensive dresses the shirts, shoes and toys are at or below $100, so if it connects with you, there are decent deals to be had.

I should really hate this dress, but maybe because I'm seeing it in the wee hours of Christmas morning, I feel like preserving it for future reference. If I were a girl I'd be tempted to buy it just to see the reaction at holiday parties.

^ see she has such a great sense of humour! i think that's adorable...

you know,when i look at her work i can't help but to think of Dirk Van Saene in a way....just his lighthearted aesthetic is similar to her's.

That dress is scary.....aieeeee!

 

[lifeis]

she has tons of stuff notebook, pens, clothes, perfume, and i think some make up stuff (not sure on that).

You can tell her design easily they have vivid colors and tehy'll have a heart, flower, cloud or something like that

I recently got some patterned underwear by her I never liked her designs, but it reminds me of my early highschool days when all the cool kids had her notebooks and pens and i would stick to cheap old Jean Books

She's just too positive and happy for me
