Fashion has always been present in the life of the young Madrilenian designer YIYI GUTZ. After studying psychology, she registered at IADE to study Fashion Design. At that time, she was involved in different types of projects that, in one way or another, were linked to fashion, design and arts. In 2003, she plunged into the professional world. She worked as production director during 3 years. Now, with her own label, her works are born of multi-disciplinary interests, mainly her desire to explore different expressions of culture and art. She ellaborates her own prints with small symbols stamped in a series of geometric shapes and solid colours, providing at the same time semiological content. The conceptualisation of the creative process as well as the materials, shapes and icons of the prints make of each garment a piece of a particular story that has to be interpreted by the one who is wearing it. Thus, through YIYI GUTZ’s proposals we can learn different things: to protect ourselves from the world by means of armours as those of fencing, to speculate about the connection between fashion and Art, to fall in love during a journey, or to heal ourselves from physical or spiritual illnesses at an old hospital.
