ENG. Andrea Robredo is a girl I am pretty sure you will hear more about in the near future! Not only because she is a fantastic designer who works for one of the newest and hottest fashion houses in the world (the name is confidential due to the fact that the house indeed is very reserved), but also because she is unique and quite magical and these qualities definitely shows in her personal style!
She is based in London and every time she goes out she rocks the city! She is one of the only people I know who can wear even a garbage bag and still manages to make it look amazing! She is talented as her own stylist! Her style shows her personality, which is explosive, loveable, fun and full of surprises!
So here I want to share with you guys some of her thoughts on her personal style because it is one that for sure deserves to be highlighted!
Enjoy!
Name: Andrea Robredo Ruiz
Profession: Assistant Designer, Womenswear Ready to Wear
What do you want to be when you grow up?
That's the problem, I always wanted to be a designer, even though I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy dream job. My second option was to become a makeup artist or going into drama (I think I could have been quite good, as I am a bit of a drama queen).
Describe yourself in 5 words…
Imaginative, easy going and a bit... crazy?
Ups I guess those are only three words, hahahaha
How would you define your personal style?
Eclectic, sleek, although there is always time to be a bit more fun... I guess my priority is not always comfort.
What inspired you?
My mom, my family and my friends always inspired me, and they keep me going!
Fashion is?
A mirror where everything reflects, fashion is many things, eclectic! It is fun, it’s serious, it’s intellectual, it’s superficial, it’s a business and it’s a kind of art.
5 pieces in your closet you can’t live without?
An amazing pair of heels and by amazing I mean those ones you could walk naked into a bar and people would still look at your feet! A good pair of dark skinny jeans, a good quality silk blouse in ivory or black, FUR (anything in fur counts so here you can be imaginative) and a crystal sheer black stockings with back seam (they literally make you 5cms taller from the back), oh and a sexy sleek black dress!
Juana: Andrea those are 6 pieces! hahahaha
3 pieces no woman should live without?
A tuxedo that can be 2 pieces or sometimes 3, but you got to wear it all at once! A classic fitted coat in black or camel, a classic high heeled black patent pumps, plus all of the 5 pieces in the question above!! :-)
Who is the best designer out there today?
Tricky question!! I really wanted to say myself! haha
But if I have to choose someone else it will be part my mom and Nicholas Ghesquiere who is doing the right thing, at the right Maison, at the right moment. (Monsieur Ghesquiere is Creative Director for Givenchy)
If you could spend the day with a fashion icon, dead or alive, who would it be?
Things are getting more and more difficult in this questionnaire!!! I can’t pick just one, so you guys choose: Elsa Schiaparelli, Cristobal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent.
A great fashion tip you can share with Juana’s readers?
Be always yourself, the BEST first impression is a good smile and a fragrance for others to remember you... Then always carry with you the most flattering shade of lipstick and some unforgettable perfume!
Your ideal lifestyle will be?
Mine, only richer! :-)
