Vicky Martin Berrocal is one of the most interesting moments of his professional career. And not only in his role as a fashion designer, with which it is about to officially present its second brand, Victoria, with which it wants to sell wedding fashion and party throughout Europe. Also in music, by participating each Saturday at the "Rise All Stars" program Telecinco, singing with Maria Toledo.
"I came down from AVE and people stopped me to tell me that excites them the feeling with that song and I stay dead, because I think I would not tell me. I'm used for 12 years to tell me they want to wear a suit designed by me, but suddenly this is very rare, "he explains. For full details on its new international project in the world of women's fashion and, incidentally, to tell us their quejíos, Vicky interviewed, although her friends, as we said, the call Victoria for several years.
Who is Victoria?
For a few years my friends call me that. Boris Izaguirre was the one who started telling me how a woman like me would be called Vicky. I quickly understood I had to put my new project Victoria is resounding, it is a change. Closing a part and leave the Flemish virtually Vicky Martin Berrocal and have the other party in Victoria. I've gone from Vicky, and with age, being Victoria.
How did the idea of creating a new fashion brand with an international vocation?
A year ago, when the parade ended 10 years of flamenco fashion, I consider that when I face a blank I get another kind of woman. That inspiration keeps coming south, but then there are other things that do not correspond to that. In fact, in this collection of Flemish he had different pieces. I've always said I do not need a flyer to feel flamenco and here I see more than ever, I want to dress(prom dresses) other women and reach all. I mentioned it to a friend and he believed he should not stay there. Out to me and girlfriends of all kinds, from a kaftan or a classic princess bride ... Then he told me to do it, it seemed to me too project to myself and I partnered. We have started this project together which I am also creative director.
The first store will open in September Victoria in the center of Seville
What is the philosophy of fashion Victoria?
It is called like me, but we wanted to give this other concept. Vicky Martin Berrocal is south, haute couture and custom and Victoria is much more commercial. When I capsule Violet collection for Mango I realized how much I worked and today, as the picture is, it must be coupled to the times and continue with exclusive pieces is fine, has a public, but most rather spend 200-2000 euros or not you have. That is the new concept, Victoria is manufactured in Spain, in the same workshops and with the same team we've been working all these years and for me that was very important. In bride, party and godmother have many heavyweights in Spain, but many manufactured in China and to me that grinds me, I do not like. I want a commercial product in price, but you see it and touch it and feel good.
Prices prom dresses Victoria start at 150 euros and bride, in 900
Does it stay that "south" which also speak in Victoria?
A design as it is and at the end Victroria remains an elegant and sensual bride or guest. Changes in what are the forms, practically, but my brand concept, the woman I wanted to get that woman, but now more universal. When I stand design I always look for that woman and what has changed is that now I get to reach more styles. My first collection for brides Victoria is 30 and not think there's a woman come in and think that there is no anything to it. 30 pieces are totally different from each other and four of them are inspired by what I am and have been so far, but the rest is for everyone.(formal short dresses)
When and where you can buy designs Victoria?
In September we will present the brand, I would do something teeny and delicate to be presented to the press. The first store will be in Seville, in the center, because I'm from here and partly because from here all. It will start giving franchises and is a much more powerful and not as much mine as Vicky Martin Berrocal project. The multi-level acceptance has been incredible, by price and style, because many stores before Madrid up could not touch my mark. Starting now, besides in Spain, sell about 1,000 points in Portugal, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Will we see you again in Seville parading?
Victoria my idea is to do next in the Barcelona Bridal Week year. If we sell out have to be somewhere else. And Simof I will when I have something new hand. This year they asked me why I had not done and I answered that I had nothing to tell. In these twelve years, starting from the flamenco fashion I have come to bride, party, godmother, stationery, clothing ... I went back home to flamenco when I realized I had something new to say and it was magical. I threw the biggest mole that has been done in Flemish, flecajes and flowers in gold, fabrics and shapes of suits that had never done ... I vomited so much and told both that silence three years I am now empty and would not know to tell a new story. Parading parading, no.
I'm going to focus in Victoria, I'm excited like a love
What price wedding dresses and party your brand new move?
Brides ranging from 900 to 1800 euros. And I speak of bride, bride, those of "forget it". A bride in capital letters. And the party collection ranges from 190-400 euros. We would be a third option to the powerful brands that we know in this country.
Do you feel you've grown, evolved, with this project?
Yes, and because I asked for the body. And when he worked in the collection of Flemish 'Back' last year when I went to the corks of all my previous collections, I wondered why I was leaving, there was nothing like what he had done. After three years without parading in Simof, when I returned I noticed this development both in my life and in my work. You like other things, and I'm not 30 years.
What fashion designers are a reference for you?
In flamenco fashion they have been El Salao, the largest, along with Lina and Pepe Jimenez, who dressed me all my life. Nor have they been an inspiration because what I have come to do no resemblance to them. My flamenco was for the world, it was fashion and fashion was what I wanted: to innovate in flamenco without losing the essence. As for couture fashion, Valentino is a reference for me is elegance, less is more. Giambattista Valli and Dolce passionate about Italian woman by that I defend ... Galliano was a genius, also McQueen. Really everyone you see things and impress you, but I always end up doing what I please and not rijo me by fashions or colors that are worn. I go by what I get for my intuition, what I like and feel at that time.
What does it mean for your first mark, Vicky Martin Berrocal, the arrival of Victoria?
It will remain for flamenco, for the most exclusive garment for the bride who wants something special ... But I'm going to focus in Victoria because I'm excited, I returned to my hopes as the amor.Tengo desire that people see and opine.
now it takes you time your participation in the "Get up All Stars" program
I'm as mad. Continue and grow and dream is always good, after all, it is a luxury and not complaining because I am privileged and life has treated me very well. I'm not complaining, but I live with a suitcase, I'll Wednesdays and singing or as I say, "I hit two hoots" but mine is mine (referring to fashion design). This is a timely thing I'm doing it because Jesus Vazquez asked me, I was really excited and so told in the first gala. He is a friend, I insisted because he knows that I like always and therefore he proposed ... Now do not know how, but I convinced.
And if you intend to record an album?
You can not say I will not drink this water, because life is full of surprises. I have clear that mine is fashion, to what I do before my brand Vicky Martin Berrocal was already shops with my mother ... But it is true that I have proposed and is not the first time, makes almost five years. What happens is that it is very complicated, I am very responsible, heavy and perfectionistic and to do would have to leave or stop that and is what I like. one day may do it for my father, because he told me to record an album if only for me and give it to my friends. I like that song from a site where it hurts and so, maybe, people are a bit amazed and surprised me.(http://www.dressesmallau.co/formal-dresses-canberra-c329/)
How do you prepare for performances?
Not prepare much, just trial. I go to class for a while and also tell them not to seek perfection. I want to leave my voice and if it goes a rooster for that, let me do it how I feel and I prefer it to be technically perfect. Bring items to my field, throw them back, I try to do as I know or I think.
Do you impose on stage?
The truth is that imposes me a lot. Nothing to do with as I singing before, at home or friends, but I'm enjoying it a lot because it was a dream I had as a little and see me on that stage ... I can not even believe.
Any artistic side more than you have "hidden"?
Singing and fashion, after that there is nothing else. Or at least remember.
