When I was looking through them, I was truly mesmerized by the beauty and innovation in each style but what I also loved was the way they were photographed and how they were presented to the audience.
Javier Tabarés García: Thank you very much! I totally believe in creating a narrative. I think that clothes give us feelings and different expressions and photographing them is a very important part of the job. This is due to my background in photography which is a time where I truly found an eye for fashion statements and shooting clothes in editorials. It definitely helped me shape the way I present my own collections on my website, and it led me to further opportunities, working with different brands.

As you’ve mentioned you have a great eye, and you have tremendous photography skills when it comes to shooting and editing fashion photos and videos.
