¿Cómo y por qué nace Casa Virgos?
When I entered the world of fashion and began to train, I have always felt a division. Creativity, The mastery of the craft, The materialization around the body… The most special part that gives life to this industry full of people with a real vocation and passion for creating truly special products. And on the other hand, the fashion industry, Full of structures and work methods where the magical part of fashion is relegated to the background. That's why I have always found myself in a middle ground where I love and hate fashion in equal measures.

Furthermore, a lo largo de mi trayectoria he visto como cada vez es más difícil encontrar lugares que preserven la esencia de una casa de costura original y donde puedas aprender de una forma más integral.

Este proyecto lo he concebido siempre como una alternativa a los modelos predominantes a día de hoy en el sector. En un momento donde los algoritmos y la respuesta inmediata es la norma, sentí el deber de recuperar, quizá por nostalgia, el concepto original de las antiguas casas de costura. Lugares íntimos de encuentro donde se establecían relaciones profundas entre la marca y la persona.
Para mí, la parte más bonita de crear algo es poder conocer, entender y ver cómo la personalidad visual de una persona se desarrolla con cada creación.
Los oficios se están perdiendo. Es un hecho interdisciplinar generalizado. La globalización y consumo masivo ha hecho que la producción se lleve a países con mano de obra barata, desvirtualizando el verdadero coste de producir una prenda. Por este motivo, una parte de mí se resigna a aceptar que esto ocurra. Que se pierda todo el conocimiento e historia de un oficio y de una industria encargada de definir la identidad de cada periodo y cambio social.

El poder de transformación de la moda es enorme pero, para mí, solo tiene sentido si trae consigo una mejora de nuestros valores. Por eso, busco recuperar procesos artesanales, so that the most human part that has always defined fashion, is not lost.
For me, tailoring goes beyond the standardized image we have: tailoring equals suit. Tailoring, from its origin, is the ability to create and shape an idea around a body precisely. Understand the physiology, taste and preferences of each individual to enhance their personality.
At Casa Virgos, tradition is the way of doing things. Innovation is the openness to new techniques, tools and ways of understanding our identity in a world that evolves towards the universal without losing the diverse.
At Casa Virgos, collaboration is one of the fundamental pillars.. We understand collaboration as a way to amplify the strength of the message when shared values are embraced.. With each interaction, we improve, we learn and we build. That’s why I am always open to collaborating with other artisans, artists, designers, creatives, and even technicians from other fields to create new stories and products that are truly worthwhile..
Only you could say that.. For me, dressing in line with my essence is synonymous with freedom, protection, and care..
What I can say is that with each piece that leaves our workshop, the goal is the same: to make you feel..
