Let’s play 20 Questions:
-
What has most influenced the way you see?
The defining factor is that since the age of 4 years old the world has been my home. I was born in Tijuana, Mexico & moved to southern california where I spent my childhood. I studied Fashion Design in San Francisco then got my first job as a designer in New York City, eventually designing my first womens wear label. relocating to Madrid I relaunched my label Zamudio,then later working both in Forence,Italy & tokyo,Japan with the designer Sybilla. I did a 2 year stint in Paris & ended up in Barcelona, Spain. I am currently living between Berlin & Barcelona.
-
What has most influenced you in the manner you work?
I was lucky to work closely with Gene London, the renown clothes archivist in NYC where I was responsible mainly for historical costume pattern reproduction. this has marked both the way I see clothes construction and the human body as well.
-
What’s with Barcelona/Berlin?
I enjoy sk8ing & there is currently a big sk8 scene here in Barcelona.I also like being able to take my dog Pep to the beach. Berlin is where noone looks at you and I feel at home there.
-
Any new projects?
Under the name 41158 am working with photography & found objects & clothing, mainly as site specific & altars. I was fortunate to show both at the Yeosuart Biennale in Seoul, Korea : yeosuartfestival.blogspot.com ; & also at the 2009 Beijing Biennale in China . Here in Barcelona am represented by Todoyalavez gallery.
-
Which media do you most enjoy working in?
I like doing all of it. Film is special given the time element possible.
Galliano once said “My life is fashion, fashion is my life”
uhhhh,not quite in my case but it is a middling to largish part of my life. fashion is something I will always work in.
I like theatre & dance because you deal in the round & there is something fearless about working under such pressure with commercials that I do enjoy.
