Santander (EFE).- The Galician designer Roberto Verino reviews in an exhibition, which can be visited until the end of August in Santander, the 40 years of his brand in which he has sought to “value people” with the “# summerstyle”.
At the inauguration of the exhibition this Thursday, Roberto Verino warned against slavery, which the persecution of the latest trend in fashion can turn into, and has defended that “modernity” in clothing is good, quality clothing. and that “lasts in time”.
This is the concept that the exhibition that reviews the couturier’s designs at the Tabacalera Civic Center tries to convey.
Under the title “#estiloverino”, the exhibition is a graphic retrospective of these four decades of fashion by the best top models such as Christy Turlington, Olatz, Helena Christensen among others and photographers such as Eloy Lozano, Javier Vallhonrat, Jacques Olivar or Paco Navarro.
Accompanied by the mayoress, Gema Igual, and before an audience familiar with his career, the Galician designer has defended that the exhibition seeks to reflect a series of values with a fashion criterion that “tries to value people”, which has opposed to the pursuit of new trends on a daily basis.
“If they see fashion as a goal to pursue every day in the latest trend, they become slaves to fashion; On the contrary, if they understand that the important thing is to believe that each one of us has to feel good about ourselves, the key is to know each other, take care of oneself, accept one another and, above all, love each other”, he has argued.
“Absolutely modern” designs
In this sense, he stressed that the show aims to demonstrate that fashion proposals from forty years ago “are absolutely modern today”. “The concept of modernity is to accept what is good over time, what is simple, functional, what has quality and what truly allows sustainability because clothes last in the closet”, he summarized.
“There is nothing that can please me more than listening to people who say: I have had the opportunity for my daughter to keep the clothes, but also my granddaughters continue to want them as if they were a treasure”, recognized Roberto Verino.
And he has abounded that all this shows a series of values ”to which it is worth joining”. “The important thing is to think of people so that their ability to enjoy what they wear every day becomes a plus of self-esteem and happiness,” the designer concluded.
The mayoress Gema Igual thanked the couturier for his decision to have the show, which is accompanied by audio and video, stop in the Cantabrian capital and praised the “impressive” career of Roberto Verino and his contribution to the “Marca España”, as economic engine and showcase of Spanish creativity.
