Good to all! After having this morning a very interesting conversation about fashion Valencia and English, I remembered that I have in the fridge an interview I did last year to kind of written communication. I leave you here, and I hope that you are interested.
NO COUNTRY FOR GENIE
fashion, recognized by the Ministry of Culture, wins the whole society. The reality on the street is different and young designers are stark: "in Europe does not exist."
December. Christmas comes to houses, shopping centers and streets. The atmosphere is preparing the city for the coming end of the year but there are those who have gone through the trance a few months ago. In the world of fashion the last days of August are a special year-end. Through September begins a new era in the international fashion : the presentation of new collections, new editions of walkways, and the distribution of the ninth issue of the year for all fashion publications which are put into the new trends of the season. September also come with migration. Airports are filled with young English people who travel abroad to work their way in the world fashion. A road in Spain seems that time is not possible.

Bernat Moya is a young Valencian four years ago, still a beardless, decided to join this stream of young people traveling to London to study fashion. Universities such as the prestigious St. Martins School "give the opportunity to practice with great designers," he says. "The problem is that Spain is not such great fashion, and if they are not down to meet the second row of fashion made by young designers, who are reflected today and the reality of trends, "said Bernat. Less critical is shown Sebastiá Maite, director of the journal Trends in VLC and member of committees as fashionable city. "In Spain the formation of incipient fashion is more than in other European countries but not necessarily worse. The fact go out and involves learning. I know cultures broadens, rather than in the fashion industry is very important, "says the expert.
Others have seen success within the English borders and views are torn between putting out or not. This is the case Juan Vidal, designer revelation of the latest edition of the Valencia Fashion Week. When the rock world of John burst onto the catwalk, the audience were impressed. For a time the capital of Turia could have passed for a fashion city like New York, Milan or Paris. The recognition in the Valencia Gateway joined a long list of awards that has harvested since 2005 Modafad won in Barcelona, \u200b\u200brecently completed their studies. Despite the success, the young man is not free from uncertainty. "I sincerely regret not having started my studies in Paris, where everything is born," says Juan reflective. "I am in a situation where you do not know whether to throw away or wait until the situation changes in fashion in Spain. The younger generation are strong and it seems that little by little will change that. We need to make English fashion a strong and powerful industry, "says the designer.

A generalized English gateway
Spain is not enough light and color cañí remain small for young designers hungry for trends and opportunities. Is the generation of technology will never be satisfied with nothing and in fashion would not be less. "There are platforms for new designers. There are many regional gateways but are missing a really quality. It would be nice to create a gateway English, defending national product beyond the autonomous " The designer says John Vidal. Supports the same idea Bernat Moya, who says that during his stay in London just received news from Spain about fashion. "A single runway, all eyes focus outside and permit the internationalization of English designers. Thus improve sales and fashion culture in the country, "said the young Valencia. For its part, Maite Sebastiá believes that each gateway would have to follow the path of specialization and be able to provide "differential with respect to others."
The possibilities are endless when specialize a gateway. From shoes to leather through swimwear and sportswear but the proper functioning of fashion, like any business, depends on many factors. Like everything else, the street has the last word and fashion should seek the way of reaching the public. "There are people who are interested in knowing what happened and is happening in fashion. There is a knowledge internally but not publicly, so we speak of ignorance, "says John Vidal. Also, Bernat Moya believes that Spain should indulge more culture and, within it, fashion, and says: "The collections do not stop being a reflection of the concerns of society. Fashion should to seek less sales and more art and in this way, people would be involved and would realize that it is not as frivolous as it sounds. "

national product would require a recognition in Spain, later, to achieve a stall outside. In fashion, in many cases the situation is reversed. Maite Sebastia, director of the journal Trends in VLC, recognizes that success abroad is usually "the only way to be considered a professional in their land." This is the reason why terminals are filled with young English people each summer to head for the capitals of fashion. The future is unlimited. Might succeed, and be recognized again as the example of Josep Font. Maybe go outside of Spain, aware of the success and settle there, for Emilio de la Morena. The only certainty is that, as claimed Maite Sebastia, "Spain can not claim to be at the level of Paris or Milan fashion product because it projects is not comparable. Is not worse but different. " "Ultimately, it is discovered the proper way to sell made in Spain, "exclaimed the expert.
In conclusion, the method must be found to offer the world the product bonanzas English fashion, though you should make a thorough review to define and, thus, differentiate. We did it with ham, wine and Seville. Spain has a pool of fashion, can only hope.
