Joaquim Verdú, in his workshop in Barcelona. JOAQUIM VERDÚ

The Catalan dressmaker celebrates in VÙ Barcelona his 40 years in fashion and claims that the man goes pink and with a skirt.

His is one of the names that fashion relates to the knitwear. Joaquim Verdú celebrates his 40th anniversary on the catwalks these days, and after a few years away from them he returns Monday with his collections, man and woman, in the imminent 080 of Barcelona and with new acronyms: VÙ Barcelona . An error and the value of Nieves Álvarez helped him create a trend.

Victoria Abril, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Marisa Paredes, Ángela Molina ... There are many women who have dared with their knitted garments, and it is not exactly an easy fabric.We must banish the topic that the point gets fat. That is false, fattening the bad point, the one who sticks, a bad pattern, a bad make-up and an inappropriate size. He overflowed the chronicles by his transparencies in point. I tell him a secret. We forgot the socks in the workshop, so all the skirts appeared on the catwalk, transparent the thongs. Will we see the Verdú neck again? The runaway that let his shoulders glimpse. Another secret I started ironing a sweater before going on stage. I threw off and my neck went wild. Nieves Álvarez, who was very young, put on the garment and said: "I can take it to the nipple, so I go there." He left, was cheered and the Verdú neck was born. "That marked a trend. Why are there so many designers and so few who dedicate themselves to the point? First because for a long time the point has been considered the complement: the scarf, the jacket, the Socks ... And secondly, because they are afraid of you.The point is a material that you have to know how to treat and it is not easy to adapt it.You have to respect it, not fear it.You have never been afraid to use scissors. I threw without fearing that a piece of cloth will fall apart in a thousand pieces? You have to cut it and treat it thinking that it is a fabric.Perhaps it is because I studied Textile Engineering in Canet de Mar, the only school in Europe. some technical knowledge I buy threads, not fabrics, and if you work on the concept Sewing with cutting-edge technology you can achieve a special line as with any other fabric, although it is very complex, and if you work good materials there is no reduction, which incide e in the price and there we would enter into a criterion of sustainability. Chanel always considered the point as a basic. It was the first mark that raised the point to the catwalk. He did it with his sailor shirts. Of course, with impeccable fabrics, something essential because the point has more wear than other fabrics, and if it is of quality you can work with sewn seams, rulé finishes and live edges. So I do. Will it bring a different look applied to the point in memory? I hope so. I present a very comfortable urban history and with a sophisticated point, it depends on how it is used. I play it with only one card, with tones ranging from pink to red and gray to black, not one more color. Will we see men with knitted pants? Something similar. What is absurd is that there can be no mixed collections. Why should a man not wear pink or with a skirt? You women allow it all. It is our moment as an imagination when it comes to dressing. Do you understand the Spanish market well? In its broadest sense, I would like to say yes. Carolina Herrera once told me: "Verdú, your clothes are for a very pretty woman, you should be in New York." Do you mean that the Spanish does not understand the point as a star garment? That is, and with point a woman can Be splendid, both night and day. The point is the most comfortable there is if you know how to use. This is what I will explain with nothing stereotyped models, each one will come out as it is because in the street women are different. Are you going to fill your parade of influencers ? If you attend, I hope they are people with enough criteria to be able to influence someone. Could you cite influencers with criteria? Internationally Caroline de Maigret, also Chiara Ferragni. In the Spanish field Patrizia Casarini. They have enough solvency to influence style. It is not easy to show fashion naturally, few succeed. Where is the most imminent trend going? The great brand returns to basic garments, the quality wardrobe.
