Thanks Elsa for the strive!
Yes, Felipe Varela is a good example of how Letizia is somehow helping to promote some Spanish designers that were not so well-known as others. Although Varela has opened his first boutique in 1998, he was not accepted in the Association of Designers and he even left the Cibeles Footbridge, before the refusal to let him have his own show...cute_girl said:
of course it's so good that she tries to promote spanish designers but i think always wearing their dresses wont help them that much as far as we're seeing that they designe some very boring and ordinary things for her that you can find in any store if I were her I'd bought from other designers too just to make spanish designers work more and produce better thingsElsa M. said:
Of course, Letizia is not trying to be anything close to what we would call a fashion icon, but I don't think she's wearing bad things, as you say. I agree with Carolina Herrera, when she says (see the article I posted at the thread for Princess Letizia's News and Photos) what most characterizes Letizia's style is the way she bears the clothes. Of course she doesn't wear such extravagant or should I say exuberant clothes as some other crown princesses do, but her style in day-to-day official life (not obviously at gala events) is really much about discretion (exactly the same guide line which characterizes the other women of the Spanish Royal Family, namely Queen Sofia), but not ordinary pieces, as you call it. In fact, if you pay attention to Felipe Varela's pieces (and it is not by mere chance that he's the one in charge of most of her day time outfits), you can clearly see the influence of some remarkable gurus as Tierry Mügler, with whom Varela learned the secrets of his cut. We're talking of a style mostly characterized by using discrete cuts, but fitting the pieces, namely the jackets, with some delicate details achieved by applying some techniques of High Couture.cute_girl said:
