“The experience of how we are living now in this situation, on an artistic level, seemed necessary to be captured in some way in my new collection. It is a historical event and the beauty of fashion is that it always has a social component. As a creative, it’s been really interesting to step out of my comfort zone and explore new ways of communication”. – José María García
