The gloomy, sentimental, and nostalgic lyrics of the iconic Uruguayan singer captures the soul of Buenos Aires. Ramírez, who studied garment design, opened his own label in 2000 and nowadays part of the elite of fashion designers in Latin America. With a solid ambition for black and an extreme attention to strong and precise silhouettes, he’s a true representation of the Argentinian culture, just like a Gardel’s song. Your clothes have a strong presence of black and oversized silhouettes, why? My love for fashion started when I was a kid, while I learned to draw. It was a very natural process, like learning how to talk. So the silhouettes and lines come from that, from my childhood, my love for drawing. And my passion for black came through the synthesis and pure forms. With black there’s no distractions, your eyes are focused completely on that, on the shape, the silhouette. You’ve said before that “color is a distraction”, which seems paradoxical since, from an international view, Latin America is normally associated with color. How does the Latin culture influence your work? I believe that geography shapes the identity of people. Latin America is extensive, there are multiple kinds of weather, landscapes, and there’s a lot of nature. I, for example, grew up in a little town close to the Buenos Aire’s on the “Pampa plain”, close to the Plata river, where everything was gray and melancholic. Also, I had a strong religious education while growing up, the priest and nun’s uniforms influenced my work. All of that is Latin America as well. We can’t generalize and think of it as a party and colorful place. Why isn’t Latin America’s fashion industry global yet? What’s holding it? I think we’re a very young continent, where there’s an interesting mixture, where there’s a multitude of rich cultures, big and profound that were oppressed by a European Catholic culture. That made us who we are. I think that Latin America’s fight for defying its identity is still in process. Also, politically, the scenario is complex, that affects deeply our business. Who’s your favorite Latin designer? It’s hard to choose one in particular, because of how big and diverse we are. We’ve seen those who conquered fame and glory in Europe or North America. But those who stay here, and work from here are brave and strong as well. What differentiates Argentina’s fashion from other countries? Argentina is probably one of the most psychoanalyzed countries in the world! Argentinian fashion can be an exact copy of foreign styles, or something really deep, with a profound message, with a lot of poetry. It is phenomenal and contradictory at the same time. Why do you think its worthy to work in fashion in Latin America? I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to participate in international runways like Berlin, Stockholm, Madrid, New York, among others. But I stayed here because of money. I’m an independent designer, who works at a very small scale, in a country that doesn’t support design. And not a single designer can maintain a business like that without a good income. That’s why I don’t know if its worthy to work here, you know? But I love doing it anyway, and here’s where I was born, plus, I don’t know what I’ve been doing if it wasn’t this. I’ll love to have the chance to grow my business and sell my designs in different countries, perhaps online. I don’t know! Those are all new paths and I prefer to go step by step. Taking big risks like that’s scary. What’s the biggest sin of a designer? Trying to be someone different. Going against its own nature, and not listening to its inner voice. What’s something you wish you knew that nobody told you? That being a designer means to be exposed as an individual. No one trained me to be that public. I never wanted to be recognized as a public person. I like and enjoy my work to be out there, but not me. Taking pictures, exposing myself, I don’t like that. Your philosophy of failure? I don’t really know because, even when it happened to me before, I refused to admit it. “You’ll learn and grow from your mistakes and failures”. What would you like the world to know about Argentinian’s fashion industry? First, I’ll love for them to know that we exist! Argentina is more than soccer, meat, tango, mate, polo, or the Patagonia. We have a lot of art, theater, music, design. We work to create products with style and quality. We’re still growing, but there’s a lot to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b9312cf9b30d0f92cf509a/1623194476402-UJVS8MKTQ2RGU4CG68X0/retraocopia.jpg Work - Articles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b9312cf9b30d0f92cf509a/1623258374868-V49EVIH10E5B78OMJ05L/screen-shot-2016-12-10-at-11-24-34-pm_orig.png Work -
