  • Designers Dossier
    DESIGNERS DOSSIER - 2019 Collections Alejandro Resta is a Valencian fashion designer who, at the age of only 32, has already made a place for himself in the national fashion scene. In his over 10 years of experience, he has presented 12 collections. He participated in the 2011 through 2014 editions of Valencia Fashion Week, and he is now a fashion presenter in Barcelona and Doha as well as the owner of AR Upscale Projects, S.L. He also won Tendencias magazine’s 2016 award for “best young fashion designer and best career.” In his early childhood, his dreamer’s imagination foretold his dedication to the world of art. His talent as a draftsman and his passion for fashion led him to choose the art of sewing. From that moment, he began his studies in design, patronage, and dressmaking at various schools in Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona, and Paris. Currently dedicated to high fashion with an international scope, he finds himself in a continuous process of innovating and searching for new luxury materials. Alejandro Resta represents the pinnacle of Spanish craftsmanship, and his superior materials are second to none, guaranteeing maximum quality and unique designs. Various celebrities, both national (Mónica Naranjo, Edurne, Chenoa, and Ana Obregón) and international (Paris Hilton) have worn his designs. COLLECTION ‘19 Azaleas By Alejandro Resta “Look at all the azaleas outside my window! I feel a gentle breeze bringing their essence to me, a unique fragrance. Spring has arrived! The days are calm, serene. The sun warms the souls of women with thirsty hearts. Mermaid silhouettes, sheer fabrics, and a variety of fresh prints are the highlights of these flowers in bloom.” This new collection is composed of eight ready-to-wear and haute couture wedding and formal dresses.

  • 1 Introduction
    Museu del Disseny de Barcelona PRESS KIT Introduction The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona (Barcelona Design 1 Museum) brings together the present, past and future of the arts of the object and design. The Disseny Hub Barcelona building, which houses the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona is the city’s most important site devoted to the object arts and design. The museum conserves a huge collection comprising more than 80,000 objects that have traditionally been classified as decorative or applied arts. The pieces range from the fourth century BC to the present and include unique, internationally-admired collections, such as those devoted to medieval fabrics, sixth- century Catalan enamelled glass, and ceramics from Alcora, among others. These object arts are connected to the twentieth-century design collections (including designer products, graphic arts and fashion) in the most natural way. Finally, moreover, the historic decorative art collections form logical links with certain contemporary author arts: the museum showcases works of artistic expression from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that adopt traditional techniques, such as ceramics, glasswork and enamel. Most of the items in the collections are, or have been, “objects for living”, that is to say, they are from the realm of everyday personal or collective life. As a result, then, the Museu del Disseny, which opened in 2014, conserves three-fold heritage, the result of merging the former collections of the city’s Museum of Decorative Arts, Ceramics Museum, Textile and Clothing Museum and Graphic Arts Cabinet. The Museu del Disseny is the common denominator in all these collections, linking the past and present of the object and all that it signifies or has signified and contributed: from conception, creation and production to use according to historic period and society, both in artisanal and pre-industrial society and during the industrial and digital ages.

King Don Juan Carlos I, a proposal from the Minister of Culture, Angeles González-Sinde, of the Gold Medal for Merits in Fine Arts 2010. From ACME we will continue to develop through out 2011 activities in, exhibition, trade and pro- motion, to place value on the potential of a sector, solid and firm, such as fashion from Spain. The changes experimented by our country through the decades have not only been perceived by the economy or the quality of the lifestyle of the Spanish, but also in our fashions and modes, which has taken from having to buy a coat out of necessity to buying a coat for the added pleasure it gives us to own an authors piece, something that has enriched us emotionally and morally. Fashion, as a fundamental part of the society in which it develops must continue to follow at a good rhythm, the changes in a world in constant evolution, growing and consolidating as an in- dustry.
