00:03It's been a pleasure to be with you.
00:07Thank you very much, it's an honor to be here in this country with so much artesanía,
00:12so much music, so much art, and a wonderful honor.
00:22Well, the truth is that I have been in the world of fashion,
00:26I started in the retail world, and I have been living in Madrid as a celebrity stylist.
00:38I have teams in Los Angeles, India, Mexico,
00:44and it's an honor to be able to work in all the parts of the world where all my clients
00:49come,
00:49including David Bisbal, Carlos Rivera, Nick y Nicole, Emilia Mernes, Esther Expósito, Nieves Álvarez,
00:57Alejandro Speitzer, John Cortajarena, un sinfín.
01:01In Hollywood I have also worked with a lot of people like Becky G, Patricia Clarkson, Helen Mirren.
01:07So, at the end, I like to be able to wear different types of people, men, women,
01:14women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women,
01:15women.
01:15I have 70 actors, singers.
01:19At the end, it's my passion, it's what I like most.
01:22And, above all, what I like most are the beautiful things.
01:26That's why I also wanted to come to Colombia to discover so many beautiful things in this country.
01:31And, above all, what I like most, is the artesanía that you have.
01:35I'm going to put it in the suitcase and I'm going to bring it to Europe.
01:45Well, look, the world of fashion came to me when I was very little.
01:49I was lucky in 2011 to make a book.
01:52I was the first stylist in Spain to take a book of fashion where I gave a lot of advice.
01:57And I started the book by explaining my beginnings.
02:00My beginnings were that I, with 6-7 years, I prepared my mother.
02:04When I was in the kitchen, when she was in the kitchen, I put her in her armchair,
02:08I prepared her look on the kitchen and I hid in the kitchen.
02:11Because, when I was in the kitchen and I was in the kitchen,
02:13I saw that the looks that I had were to go to the bathroom.
02:18And then, it was like, Victor, you have taken everything, you have to go to the bathroom.
02:21And I had the looks that I had to go to the supermarket.
02:23Because, with 6 years, I only had my mother with my mother was to go to the supermarket or to
02:26the store.
02:27So, that's how I started the world of fashion and the style of fashion.
02:31And then, I started to call my attention from a little bit,
02:33without knowing what it was, I started to call my attention.
02:37And, in the end, it was something that was passionately
02:39that within me has been growing, growing, growing, growing,
02:42and growing up, to be able to live from it.
02:43And, it was before...
03:10and he was called Ana Fernández, but something iconic, for example, two iconic looks that I have done
03:17have been the Goya Prize in Madrid, in Spain, in 2013 with Nieves Álvarez,
03:23which has been a look catapulted by international media like The Look of the Década,
03:30that was Nieves Álvarez with a Stéphane Roland wonderful, with a giant flower flower,
03:34which was iconic, and then a look that changed my life. In the Golden Globe of 2019,
03:42Patricia Clarkson, nominated, won, and that look changed my life. It changed my life. It changed
03:49at personal level, at professional level, and from there, there was a before and after in my
03:56career as a stylist, in my career as a Víctor Blanco, and the truth is that these are two moments
04:02that I always remember with a lot of affection.
04:12Well, Spain respira moda, especially because we have the most important company in the world,
04:21which is Inditex. So, in the end, we have lived with a lot of fashion.
04:26There have been great artists like Valenciaga, like Paco Rabanne, like Per Tegaz.
04:31We have had great houses like Loewe, which, although they now belong to French groups,
04:38have been Spanish during all their beginnings. So, we are a country with a lot of tradition,
04:44a lot of, like Dolce & Gabbana says, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of clothing, a lot
04:49of clothing,
04:50shoes, shoes. Stuart Waitsman has his own central in Spain, where he makes shoes.
04:56So, we have a very good culture of fashion.
05:00But today, in the street, there is a lot of low cost, because, at the end, it's easy
05:07clothes that you can use and throw easily, which, today, is not so good,
05:13because we are trying to fight for the world of sustainability and to reduce the gas
05:21that we send to the heavens with the residues. So, we have to patent some type of new system
05:29so that the fashion is different. And, above all, it's something that I really like
05:34a lot about Colombia, the artesanía that you have, which I think is where everything goes,
05:40how to do it, how to do it, how to do it, how to do it, how to do it,
05:44how to do it, how to do it,
05:44and, above all, how to do things with the heart, that, at the end, you demonstrate that,
05:49when you invest in something like that, you treat it differently, you take it differently,
05:52you take it differently and you take it differently and you take it a lot more. So, we have to
05:56fight for it.
06:04We have to do a bit of a dream to the people. I understand that many times we have to
06:09recycle, but it is true that
06:11in the world of celebrities, we have the lucky that they give us the clothes,
06:16they never usually be bought. So, they leave it, they use it and then they return.
06:22And the brands, many times, they return to re-use in other markets, in other countries.
06:26So, there is a little bit of sustainability.
06:30The only thing is to see the same celebrity with the same dress, in two different events,
06:35to me, as a stylist, it's a little bit, especially because, maybe even for the second look,
06:40sometimes, they don't want me to pay, which would hurt my job.
06:43But it is true that, for example, it is doing Cate Blanchett,
06:47to repeat looks that they have given brands during the last decade.
06:51And she is a goddess, she is in Hollywood and she can allow it.
06:57But it is true that I always like to have that gusiness,
07:00to try to have vintage pieces or new pieces.
07:06But, above all, now I am fomenting a lot of vintage.
07:09I like the theme of vintage.
07:10I really like that they are pieces of other times, of other designers,
07:15from 10, 20, 30, 40 years.
07:17And that is something that is also something that is also fomenting
07:20now a lot between the stylists at the international level.
07:23So, we are also trying to, within what we can,
07:26and we can fight a little bit for it.
07:42Well, look, I didn't expect to find such a lencerie,
07:45for example, with many things made by hand.
07:47Well, I would imagine that there would be an artisan culture,
07:55but more indigenous.
07:56And what I explain is that there are groups of women
08:00of 60 years old that do,
08:02there are groups that do things artisanal,
08:06both clothes, putts,
08:09so it seems like it is very favorable for the world of fashion,
08:14and it is very favorable for a market like Colombia.
08:17And it is something that I think the world should know,
08:20because in countries like this,
08:21they are doing very interesting things.
08:24I have seen things that are of very high level,
08:27just because they are on this side of the car,
08:29maybe they don't have such relevance as on other sides.
08:32If all this, maybe it was in Italy,
08:35then now the brands would be much higher.
08:37So, I hope that with my grain of sand,
08:40as a Spanish and European style,
08:43we can do many things together with Colombia,
08:47with the Colombian fashion,
08:48and with these wonderful brands that I have known.
08:52Well, three tips.
08:54What advice would you like to do?
09:03Well, three tips.
09:05One smoking, whether you're a woman or a man,
09:07one smoking will save you from 1.000 events,
09:101.000 events, 1.000 moments,
09:11that you can make a difference.
09:14And also, if you are a woman or a woman,
09:16one good outfit,
09:18aquifers are important.
09:20Invert in good accessories,
09:21that's something very important.
09:23Because you know that you are going to be a lot of life.
09:26Then, how not?
09:28Invert in good jackets.
09:30Good jackets,
09:31is also something very important and I would say a fourth, a good point, the point is very
09:37important and I would also say something more, a fifth, venga, I'll give you this one, no
09:42invest so much in jeans, because at the end of the denim is denim, it doesn't matter if
09:47you have a brand or you have another, the denim is denim, you have to feel well, but
09:52that is with a reasonable price, not because of 600 euros, a denim will be better than
09:58one of the 20, because it has shown scientifically that they are exactly the same, simply the
10:02only thing to change is the label, so sometimes you have to think a little bit with the
10:06head, with the things that we are buying.
10:09Thank you very much for everything, a hug.
