A very Spanish designer
Adolfo Domínguez started a new generation of designers in Spain. He was born in 1950 in Orense, Galicia, one of many designers to come from that part of Spain. He has a fresh, new approach to Spanish fashion, and he has been very successful.
He studied design in Paris and then moved to London to continue his studies. In the early 1970s he took over his father’s fashion boutique in Orense. He spent the next few years developing his own designs. In 1981 he presented his clothing collection in Madrid. After that, things went very well for him.
He was the first Spanish designer to open his own shop in the Spanish capital. He called it Adolfo Domínguez. This was a success, and he opened shops all over Spain and abroad, including London. The company finally went public, which meant that anyone could buy a part of it if they wanted.
He makes casual, comfortable clothes, using loose, natural fabrics. His motto in the 1980s was: ‘la arruga es bella’ (wrinkles are beautiful) and this is still what he thinks today!
