Because Nieves was clear."I try clothes from many designers in Flash Fash.I knew that he was the person who had to make me one of the most spectacular pieces of my closet ":

And that's how they started talking on Instagram."When Nieves contacted me for the first time, I fell two tears.For me she has always been a reference of style.How not to dream of making the bell dress? ".So both went to work hand in hand and agreed on the idea of what they wanted.

The first dress test

Both Nieves and Nicolás recognize being very nervous.We are only five days after 31 and it is the first time that the presenter will prove a design made millimetrically her measures.And to get to this moment, before many things have happened.The disassembled dress was "stuck" in the London customs and Nicolás had to come to Madrid to look for him on the 24th, spending Christmas Eve without his family.

When he says that 25 he put all his people, in Lantejuela, to sew the feathers around the table, the entire team explodes."I only saw that I sent me photos of the whole family sewing and thought: my mother, they will not arrive on time! It really, this is a sewing dress," says Nieves.

Finally, the presenter enlishes the dress and the moment is magical."I have seen that I fit perfectly.Even that I am terribly perfectionist, I have been super calm, seeing it on.It adapts to me as a glove, "says Nieves, happy.

For the realization of this creation, a smooth tulle base has been used that has been decorated with small pieces of semi -transparent black lace, profiled by a black velvet cornice to which black ostrich feathers are added, sign of identity of the firm."How many hours of work does such a dress have?" We asked Nicolás."Countless, there have been hours and hours of artisanal work of many people," he assures us.
