“it was like any other

relationship, there was

jealousy on both sides,

there were split-ups and

reconciliations.

there were also fragmented moments of

great peace and beauty.

I often tried to get away from her and

she tied to get away from me

but it was difficult:

Cupid, in his strange way, was really

there.”

― Charles Bukowski, The People Look Like Flowers at Last

a-couple interview at Modefabriek

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:27:17 +0100

After spending two weeks at the Amsterdam Fashion week and developing some new projects, I finally found the time to write about a-couple, the duo designer from Spain that I had the pleasure of interviewing at the Modefabriek.

a-couple Laia Garcés and Núria Marti (www.a-couple.com)

Monyart: Hi girls and congratulations for your new collection (part of the cut and edge catwalk) - both the materials and the design were quite impressive! Let’s start with the name of your brand. How did you come up “a-couple?”

a-couple: We met at school a few years ago (both of them are 23) and we immediately clicked. We did everything together; in fact, we were spending so much time together that both teachers and school mates start referring to us as pareja (couple).

Monyart: When did you decide to team up to create the brand?

a-couple: At some point the "pareja" was separated as we were both working abroad. However, we were talking over skype on a daily basis about our dream.. One and a half years ago, we decided to go for it and we opened our studio in Barcelona. We have been working together ever since.

Monyart: As stated above, I find your collection quite impressive! Innovative design with a hint of Japanese additions. Which is your target audience?

a-couple: We target the northern market. That is why we attended the Modefabriek and we are heading to the Madrid Fashion Week to present our collection next week.

Monyart: Thank you girls. Best of luck and we will keep in touch!

a-couple: Thank you Mony.

"Bedenk je drie keer voor je iets doet." - Think three times before doing anything.

I have learned..

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:10:59 +0100

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou
