My grandma used to tell me: My dear, you have to know how to sew but this is not enough. Crocheting is what every lady of the house should know. I didn't learn it in the end because I was the opposite of a patient child but I always admire her when she is crocheting and I love the blouses that she could make. This is why this activity brings back family memories and the good old times.
But last week, in one of the nicest boutiques in Raval, La Col.lectiva, Josep Mestres presented for the first time his crochet collection. What he creates looks very different from what usually crocheting means for most of us. He is creating volumes, working even for 6 months only for the birth of one dress. "I am 95% autodidact and this allows me to be my own chief. When I have in my mind the next thing I want to do, I don't think if it is possible or not, I just throw myself in the process and have fun without compromises. I think this why my creations look like that", says Josep Mestres. (Soy autodidacta el 95% y eso me permite seguir mi proprio patrón, también tediré que cuando pienso en lo que quiero hacer no pienso si es posible o no, simplemente me lanzo y disfruto sin ningún tipo de compromiso, creo que es por eso que me salen así).
The artist, because I think this is more than designing fashion, is - maybe without being aware - part of the slow movement, preserving and supporting traditional ways of life. I love his work! You can buy his dresses in La Col.lectiva, c/LLuna 6, Barcelona, Raval district, Barcelona.
