CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR
CREATIVE PROCESS?
My creative process for each collection
is unique. What I can assure you is that,
in YEAGOB and in my own atelier, I
supervise every process personally,
taking care of every detail.
I’m not going to lie but it is a long
process; designing, creating the
patterns and aterwards the
prototypes, we make several tests,
when we have a “final” version we have
some fittings with models and make
some adjustments, then the
photoshoot comes, etc. We go through
a long process as you can see until it
reaches our website www.yeagob.com.
We go through the same process with
each collection as we work as a family.
Everyone is involved in each process so
the results are completely satisfactory.
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE DESIGNERS?
My favourite designers are the Polish
Joanna Startek, the American Thom
Browne and David Delfin, who is
Spanish. Startek is for me an example
of sobriety and cleanliness, their client
is very similar to YEAGOB's. Their lines
are pure, the colour palette they use is
neutral and their cuts are admirable.
Thom Browne is one of the biggest
innovators of the brand and I consider
him an example to follow. Its style is
much more creative but in essence it
has to do with YEAGOB. He is not just a
designer, he is an artist that generates
works of art for men. David Delfin is my
role model when it comes to Spanish
designers. His very characteristic and
daring style in each collection makes
him and his brand one of the greatest
in Spain.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE FUTURE TO
HOLD FOR YEAGOB?
I don’t like to think about the future, I
rather live day by day the little changes
without thinking what may happen
tomorrow. Of course, I would love to
make YEAGOB a leading brand
worldwide in masculine design where
clients wait for the new collection with
enthusiasm.
The European expansion is our biggest
challenge right now. We are trying to
get our brand in multibrand stores
throughout Europe so there’s no
geographical barrier for our clients.
ANY PLANS OF MOVING SOMEWHERE
OUTSIDE MURCIA?
There have been some attempts to go
with the brand outside Spain to
countries such as Germany, France or
Italy, but I have decided to stay in
Spain, at least for now. I’ll keep
travelling for pleasure and for work as
well, but until the day arrives when I
have a good plan, I will stay in Spain.
