Television The catharsis of Sewing Masters: "This is not sewing and singing, this is sewing and crying"
"This is
Masters of Sewing
. It is not a passport to be a TV star. Okay? And when we give our opinion the least thing is to listen to us and not interrupt us."
Lorenzo Caprile
, at his best.
Masters of Sewing
, at its best. He returned to Maestros de la Costura and returned with everything that worked two years ago, when
RTVE
decided not to renew another edition of fashion talent. But he also returned with excessive enthusiasm for those who love the program: its judges -
Lorenzo Caprile
,
María Escoté
and
Palomo Spain
- and its presenter,
Raquel Sánchez Silva
.
It was a delirium from start to finish. A delirium in which
Lorenzo Caprile
became its main protagonist. He began appearing dressed as flamenco, continued emulating
Pablo Picasso
and ended up making a good part of the apprentices blush. In this edition the scale is not balanced. There are very good apprentices and there are apprentices who have a very long way to go. And in this
Caprile
is an expert: he identifies like no one else who is serious, who is coming to make a fool of themselves and who, speaking badly and soon, has no fucking idea, not only about sewing, but about everything in general.

Premiere.
The catharsis of Masters of Sewing: "This is not sewing and singing, this is sewing and crying"

The catharsis of Masters of Sewing: "This is not sewing and singing, this is sewing and crying"
Although at the beginning of the program it seemed that the dressmaker was more relaxed, it was all a mirage. If there is something that upsets
Caprile,
it is, first, that they hesitate, second, that he does not respect the judges and, third, that they do not listen.
Masters of Sewing
set a first trap for all the apprentices in which they all fell. They were kind, sweet, understanding. They let them do without going into any more evaluations than listening to
Carlota
's stress about breaking the damn embroidery machine or the personal reasons that had led each one to
Masters of Sewing
. They were patient, and even too loving to be the judges of
Masters of Couture
.
Masters of Sewing and bad slime
Only
Eugenia Silva
, the fourth judge (now in the first test there will be a fourth guest judge) brought a bit of reality to the workshop when, when evaluating the first garment of the first test, that of
Yichan
, she said "it is impossible to judge this." which made it clear that
Masters of Couture
has been renewed, but its essence remains intact.
In this first test, the applicants had to make a garment that for some reason throughout their lives they had not been able to wear or had not had the courage to wear. They could use whatever fabric they wanted, any patterns they wanted with the only limitation of 90 minutes of time. And there
Lorenzo Caprile
appeared dressed as a flamenco - what this man likes a good costume -, and there
Palomo Spain
appeared with a polar bear-style coat that must have weighed the same as an anvil, and there
María Escoté
appeared , grunge style. And there the apprentices were.
As always happens in
Masters of Sewing
, the choice of fabric, the bad tricks due to nerves, the poor choice of fabric, the bobbin of the machine and the damn embroiderer were the biggest obstacles that the apprentices encountered, who encountered only some because the reality is that there were others in which for them the premiere of
Maestros de la Costura
was a breeze.
Saving Eugenia Silva
's ax blow
to
Yichan
, the rest of the apprentices found themselves with evaluations and judges that were too good-natured. Of course there were great pieces like
Ángel
's evening dress ,
Cristian
's stuffed vest and cape, or
Soraya
's sequin jumpsuit
, but there were pieces that in other times would have inflamed the ire, especially of
Lorenzo Caprile
. However, they wanted them to trust each other, to make it seem like they had sweetened his character. Until... until the team test arrived and
Caprile
erupted like Vesuvius.
Masters of Sewing
took the applicants to the Automobile and Fashion Museum in Malaga. There, the apprentices had to make a garment that represented
Pablo Picasso
. They let them use whatever fabric they wanted, whatever materials they wanted, whatever designs they wanted, but I had to remember
Picasso
.
Ángel
, after being the winner of the first test, was in charge of selecting the captains of each team. For the green he chose
Soraya
and after a random selection, the green team was made up of
Carlota
,
Yichan
,
Mima
-what a fabric
Mima
!-,
Erik
and
Noe
.
For its part, the orange team, captained by Ángel
himself
, was made up of
Mario
,
Julia
,
Iker
,
Cristian
and
Almudena
. And it was here that it began to be seen that if something is going to cause a stir in this edition of
Masters of Sewing,
it will be the rivalry and the bad behavior of some contestants.
Some of you think that they will manage to take a friend from their time at
Maestros de la Costura
, but the reality is that this casting is not about friends but rather about blows. They are not going to pass a single ball between them and they will throw balls out, or rather to the side, whenever they can. There are those who have already become super friends:
Erik
,
Yichan
and
Mima
; There are those who have already started to throw their hats in the ring:
Iker
,
Mario
or
Cristian
. And there are those who are more lost than an octopus in a garage and who will have a hard time finding their place in
Maestros de la Costura
, it is said,
Soraya
,
Carlota
or
Almudena
.
Beyond these first quarrels that became more than clear practically as soon as the outdoor test began, the reality is that this first distribution of teams was completely unbalanced both in abilities and skills as well as personalities.
Soraya
tried, she failed, and his garment ended up being a real disaster. But, perhaps, without
Mima
or
Erick
's push , something better could have turned out.
The hesitation of a contestant to Caprile
In fact, it was in one of those moments in which
Soraya
no longer knew where the air was coming from when
María Escoté
and
Lorenzo Caprile
appeared on the scene . Neither of them really understood what they were doing. At first,
Soraya
's design
included some things, some cardboard sleeves, many colors, a black and white felt hat and a bustier. When
Caprile
and
Escoté
arrived , there weren't even any scrapes left. And the
Caprile
that we were all waiting for appeared, the lethal
Caprile
, the
Caprile
who is not even going to pass, the
Caprile
who, if you hesitate, is dead. And
Mima
hesitated.
The couturier asked what they knew about
Pablo Picasso
and given the lack of response and the manifest lack of culture of the majority of the team,
Caprile
took out the whip and punished them, like an old school teacher, that for the next program they would all have to present an essay on the importance of
Picasso
for 20th century art and fashion. "On both sides?"
Mima
snapped sarcastically
. "Don't hesitate on me, eh?" He didn't need to say anything else until it was time for the assessment. "This is a shame". Ball point.
However, Mima rebelled against the dressmaker's order: "Whoever I tell you is going to bring it. If I'm in the elimination test it's because I need to practice, not start writing essays." "Maybe you don't have to do it because you're leaving,"
Caprile
cut off the candidate. After this, Caprile, who is in charge, gave him one more task: "You are also going to bring me a garment inspired by
Picasso
." Now you go and come back.
It was then that after hearing Soraya
's team
assure that they were satisfied with his father,
Lorenzo Caprile
could not contain himself any longer.
Caprile
did not see anywhere the proposal they had made at the beginning of the test and he made it visible. "Where is
Picasso
's bullfighting ?" he asked them. It was then that
Yichan
responded by stating that they did not want to reflect bullfighting. "But you said it," the designer pointed out to them.
Yichan
responded and
Caprile
burst because if there is something that
Caprile
has, it is that he understands the trainees from the beginning. And it was at that moment when he told her that
Sewing Masters
was not a program to become a "television star." He won what he had to win, the orange team with a piece that surprised the judges and received the greatest praise from him.
And it was in the elimination test when
Maestros de la Costura
gave a twist to the plot: for the first time in the history of talent, the program recognized that it had made a mistake in the casting by not giving an opportunity to one of the candidates who presented themselves. They gave it to her. "The shortcomings have led us to remember that there was someone we really liked in the casting. Perhaps,
we were wrong
, and she deserved a second chance," said
Raquel Sánchez Silva
, giving way to Ana.
And yes they were wrong.
Ana
left the judges and her colleagues stunned with her work, having also chosen one of the most complicated fabrics to sew, sequins. There was no doubt, Ana became a new contestant on
Masters of Sewing
, while
Noe
and
Carlota
took a gamble. The challenge was to convert formal garments into more wearable everyday garments.
Noe
made a mistake when making a bag;
Carlota
became confused with the skirt and between them, the judges decided that
Noe had to be the first to be expelled
.
