The Madrid of ... Lorenzo Caprile, the master of sewing who only dresses in second-hand clothes from Humana
Alejandro Gómez Palomo
(Posadas, Córdoba, April 3, 1992) confesses to being adopted from Madrid.
"Outside my house is where I spend the most time and it is a city that makes me fall in love."
The designer, known as his eponymous brand,
Palomo Spain
, triumphed in the capital with his first show at the
Lázaro Galdiano Museum
(2016), after passing through the
London College of Fashion
.
So she crossed the pond to parade in New York,
dress Beyoncé and her twins
and Miley Cyrus.
Back in Spain, and again connected to the capital, there were elbows to see their long-awaited parades, where genderless creativity flowed in different spaces, leaving the "old Cibeles" circuit.
In 2018 he premiered on television as one of the judges of the
talent show
of the public network
Maestros de la couture
, which is now in its fourth season, which is why he spends even more time in the capital.
"I think it is the most welcoming city I have ever been to
.
"
And in the midst of a pandemic, instead of closing his studio-workshop in Posadas, a town where everyone knows him and employs Spanish artisans, his new collection emerges and begins collaborations with mó de Multiópticas, a Spanish cooperative.
It is working very well and now this tandem releases a second capsule, which goes on sale next May, inspired by the
Summer of Love
atmosphere
of their clothes:
freedom, the desire to live and share
to put aside current concerns in the sun.
A PARK: THE RETREAT
"Without a doubt, I would wear my glasses in El Retiro. I love to be
lying on the grass enjoying a picnic
with friends. There is very good
street style
on Saturday afternoon and I am happy to be signing," he says laughing.
He would then pass through the Puerta de Alcalá, where the photo would be taken for Instagram.
And it would be the afternoon on a
terrace
to enjoy a good gin and tonic.
"I stay with Aarde Madrid"
, restaurant of Grupo Paraguas to see and be seen.
WEAKNESS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE LETTERS
Palomo, always connected to other historical times, which he reflects in his patrons, chose the
Barrio de Las Letras
to live and locate his
showroom in the
capital.
"I have lived there a lot and I love that feeling that it shares with Posadas de pueblo, but in a different style with the genuine shops that are there. A more traditional Madrid neighborhood atmosphere that seems super special without leaving the center" .
A Store: Eternal Loves

In his last visits to the capital, Palomo has walked the shelves of the new
Taschen on Calle Barquillo
, devouring the pages of his collector's books.
However, although he mentions it on his essential route, he prefers to stop at a more mythical place:
Amores Eternos, in Corredera Baja de San Pablo
.
"I usually buy
vintage
and they have special pieces there, they search for you well and treat you great."
Family and fun

"Madrid
gives
me the
desire to always be on the street,"
cries the designer, who has always felt like one more among six million inhabitants.
"Its opening is wonderful,
the circles always open and you end up meeting a lot of people
. Anyone who comes feels good because everyone is open to the new. You can start on a terrace and end up getting mixed up."
His perfect plan is to start at Pintor Rosales with friends for beers and end up at one of them, extending the afternoon with a drink.
The museum of Romanticism
On Sundays you cannot miss a walk through a museum.
"
I am passionate about Romanticism
. Also the Sorolla, the Prado ... And going to the cinema at Sala Equis is also a good cultural plan."
Your favorite restaurants
To sit down to eat in a classic, choose the
La Bola
stew
.
"And modern I love
Mr. Ito
, who is not particularly beautiful in decoration but has the richest sushi. Going is always a delight and a treat with every bite."
A hotel: The Wellington
If you have to stay in Madrid, Palomo Spain can be found at the Wellington Hotel, located in the Salamanca district.
"Despite not being as ideal as Santo Mauro, I have a very special relationship that I feel as soon as I walk through the door.
I feel at home, you have the
most beautiful
suites
, the most careful service and it is like a second home in Madrid ".
Madrid party
When there was night in Madrid, it was a very present part of the city, recognizes the creator, who would undoubtedly have been an active character in La Movida.
"
I have enjoyed a lot in cool gambling dens in Chueca
like Cazador, Corazón or something more rogue and queer like LL Bar. Going out for dinner for a little while and ending up singing at the Toni 2 Piano Bar glass in hand has always been a mythical plan in Madrid".
If he could get back on track, he is clear: "I am from the Cha Chá generation and I am looking forward to returning. I have spent the funniest nights of my life in Madrid there."
