Style

His style is urbane, functional, casual and eminently comfortable, making use of loose, natural fabrics. One of his key marketing strategies has been to avoid distribution through multi-brand shops and target the ultimate consumer directly, reducing delivery time and cost to the buyers.

He was among the first to inject a new, fresh approach in Spanish fashion, spearheading the rise of a generation of new designers.

Motto

He became famous among other things for his 1980s motto, "La arruga es bella" - "Wrinkles are beautiful". This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
