After the physical fashion shows, Milano has begun to exhibit this Monday, September 26, the proposals of several emerging brands in video format, including those that Tiscar Espadas has presented for his fourth collection called CAPÍTULO IV. Throughout a five-minute video, the Andalusian designer (Úbeda, 1993) takes the viewer to a bucolic setting on the outskirts of Madrid, which reflects the world of dreams that have always been rooted in their signature. With the clothes of Tiscar Espadas, designed to be timeless, everyone can build an imaginary character according to their taste. Just like the models who appear in the video -many of them regulars in the brand’s campaigns-, along with 32 garments composing CAPÍTULO IV.
This new annual collection is the first that Tíscar Espadas designs entirely in Madrid, where the Andalusian designer’s studio is currently located, after being born in London in 2019 and growing up for three years in the British capital. However, the fact that the brand has changed its location doesn’t mean its approach is any different: all of the garments that belong to CAPÍTULO IV are handmade from natural fabrics -English waxed cotton, German hemp, and Japanese wool and denim- under the same formal concept as done before.
CAPÍTULO IV includes loose, extra-long shirts with straps that, when tied at the back, allow the piece to be worn very tightly, as well as long trousers whose drawstrings let the piece become a pair of shorts -the same goes for various shirt versions-. Other trousers come with several removable layers, while some jackets have sleeves that can be unbuttoned or removed completely, in addition to a selection of coats that not only protect: “What I want with my clothes is that everyone can build the character they want or feel like, depending on their mood or the weather conditions”, explains Espadas.
In the digital age, a “personal brand” is often a carefully curated facade. But for Carlos Vasconcellos, it’s something far more authentic: a direct line to his soul.
