Hoy te hablaré de mi diseñadora favorita. Lo que más me inspira de ella no es solamente
su estilo o su buena técnica de diseño y costura, si no también como fue su
forma de vida, como a pesar de adversidades salió adelante.
Admiro como fue su dedicación a la costura, como era tan
detallista, incluso en calcetines ponía un poco de su estilo. Como a pesar de estar en un ambiente humilde,
su amor al arte y al diseño florecían.
Recuerdo la primera vez que adquirí una prenda de ella, era
como si mi sueño se hiciera realidad. Los colores usados, los textiles, el
diseño eran todo para mi, más que perfección. Me sentía soñada cada vez que lo
usaba. Los colores pasteles como el amarillo, rosa y azul me transportaban a un
cuento de hadas donde yo era una muñequita con un hermoso vestido lleno de
volantes.
Mi diseñadora favorita era un gran ejemplo de tenacidad,
honestidad, paciencia y amor. Una gran persona llena de virtudes, un ejemplo de
vida sin igual que tuve. La responsable de mi amor al diseño, y la que viene a
mi mente cada vez que quiero abandonar mi sueño.
Hace unos días visité su antiguo estudio, aún su máquina de coser
de antaño, su colección de botones y cierres siguen ahí. Sus cajones llenos de
encajes, elásticos y agujas me hacían desear nuevamente su compañía.
La única persona con la que pude entablar una profunda
conversación de sisas, mangas y cierres. La que me contaba anécdotas de costura
y me impartía clases de historia del vestido con ellas. Ella, quién me enseñó
el arte y los tesoros que encuentras en thrift stores. Ella, que con cada
palabra me daba una lección de vida. Ella, quién marcó mi vida, a la cual le
dedico este escrito; la Diseñadora de Modas Belén Jiménez. Yo la llamaba:
"abuelita".
All creative mind have a favourite designer, someone in who we inspire, not only because his style but also for his carreer, how he grew, and how he overcame adversity.
Today i will talk about my favourite designer. What inspires me about her is not only her good style or the good technique she has for design and sewing, but also the way it was her life, despite the adversity, she overcame any obstacle.
I admire her dedication in the sewing art, how she cares about every detail, even in the socks, she would put her signature. Despite she grew in a humble enviroment, you always could notice her love for art and design.
I remember the first time i got an item from her, it was like a dream coming true. The perfect colour combination, fabrics, and design was everything to me, more than perfection. I felt in the sky everytime i wore it. The paste palette such as yellow, pink and blue transported me to a fairy tale, where i was a little doll with a gorgeous ruffles dress.
My favorite designer is the perfect example about tenacity, honesty, patience and love. A role model full of virtues, a real model that i had in my life. The responsable for my love to design, the one who come to my mind every time i want to give up from my dreams.
Couple of days ago, i visited her old studio, her old sewing machine and her buttons' collection are still there. Her drawers full of elastics, laces and needles made me wish again her company.
The only human being with who i talked deeply about armhole, sleeves and zippers. The one who told me stories about design and haute couture and taught me about design history. She, who also taught me about art and the treasures you can find in thrift stores. She, who with every word gave me a life lesson. She, who marked my life, the one who i dedicate this post; My favorite fashion designer Belén Jiménez. I called her "granny".
