Rafael Moneo in That’s Life
José Rafael Moneo Vallés es uno de los arquitectos contemporáneos más prolífico y con más talento que ha dado nuestro país en los últimos tiempos. Moneo, así se le conoce en la profesión, lleva 40 años en ésta ardua tarea de la construcción y del decoro. Su vida ha transcurrido entre la docencia y el construir alrededor del mundo para “dar expresión al palpito estético del momento “. En los sesenta, después de acabar sus estudios, llamó a la puerta de Jorn Utzon, conocido mundialmente por la realización de la Opera de Sídney, en Hellabaek ( Dinamarca ), para hacer practicas junto a él después de acabar los estudios. Al cabo de dos años, obtuvo una beca para formarse en la Academia de España en Roma. En poco tiempo, aprendió la tradición nórdica y grecolatina, que mantendrá a lo largo de su trayectoria profesional .
Carlos Puig Padilla for AFCBMO
I met Michael Oats thanks to my Instagram. He is a young photographer and Editor of “A fanzine created by Michael Oats” and the online version “AFCBMO”. I shot for him on the Carine Roitfeld party in Paris. He is 24 and he’s been taking photos and loving magazines since he was a child and in 2009, tired of depending on other people to publish his work he decided to start his own fanzine where he can publish his photos and the work of all the artists that he admires. I am proud of this first collaboration with him and happy to know him thanks to the social networks of the net .
Otherwise, His new issue ( a must see ) is “Le Smoking”, the iconic Helmut Newton photograph shot in the 70s for French Vogue where Vibeke wears the legendary tuxedo designed by Yves Saint Laurent while she smokes a cigarette. The 16 artists collaborating in his new issue are: Luis Venegas, Daniel Riera, Gorka Postigo, Slava Mogutin, Brad Elterman, Éric Gallais, Prain Lorena, Marcela Gutierrez Miguel Villalobos, Albert Madaula, Antonio Barros, Chris Vidal Tenomaa, Diana Roman, Jacobo Labella, Crawford and Lucio Chiné.
Shopping in Barcelona
This time for Glamour TV, I was in Barcelona. It was day for shopping and paella. I start at The Outpost, the accessories reference shop of my friend Pep Esteve and I met Eva Vilallonga and thanks to her, I change my hat . Afterwards I walk to my friend Jean Pierre Bua‘s shop, the best fashion clothing place of the city. There I met my beloved friend Pilar Pasamontes and her fashion trendy dog Perla and Christian Santamaria trying a shirt . Afterwards, I went to Pinko and enjoy the company of my friend Ana Fernandez. At the end I met my girls at El Xiringuito del Escribà where my buddy Joan Escribà made one of the best paellas we’ve ever had beside Oriol Elcacho and Davinia Pelegri. A visit of trendy Barcelona fashion in the sun. Enjoy .

David Delfin 48 hours before his Fashion show
This week we introduce you David Delfin, one of the designers ( from the established ones ) most loved in Spain. His show is the most awaited every season during Madrid’s fashion week . The settings of his shows are original and full grace. This time, his idea, his therapy, was a lost. Alicia, his dog, died October 2012.

Custo in New York
This time I travel to New York for the fashion week to cover Custo Barcelona show at the Lincoln center .
The collection was titled Beauty and the Beast. For women, Dalmau did tiny dresses with pronounced shoulders in a variety of sparkly, jangly fabrics and knits. For men, it was all about wildly printed suiting; woolly shawls were draped over the models’ shoulders.
Dalmau’s been showing since 1997 in New York. I had the chance for Glamour TV to get in the backstage, talk with the make-up artist and interview Custo . Before the show I had a walk on Brooklyn bridge. It was very very cold & very fun trip.
