ANEL YAOS

MARÍA

MARÍA is the blank canvas showcasing Anel Yaos’ new proposal. A renewed and poetic look at a colour that reveals a delightful variety of shades, textures and meanings, beyond its seeming simplicity. White is pure, but it may also be mother-of-pearl, chalk, bone, marble, moon white and, depending on the light or shadow caressing it, it can look different at any given moment.

White is the essence, fragility and stillness and the starting point of a proposal Anel Yaos, in line with his naive and surreal universe, now uses to create volumes and layering, plays on textures and fabric and material combinations, thus creating a clean atmosphere that is minimalist in terms of colour and maximalist in terms of pattern.

Its purest version sometimes behaves like a second skin, at other times like a protective armour and always as a channel to convey some of the brand’s ongoing hallmarks: romanticism, fineness and tenderness.

The textures of the fabrics and materials make up the range of whites, with neoprene, wool and knitwear, lace, leather and faux fur, as well as silk, taking centre stage.

“MARÍA appears like a ray of light in my mind, Maria is my sister, my other self and an endless source of inspiration. Maria is white”.

Atmosphere

Through his collections, Anel Yaos’ aesthetic universe conveys his inner world and the way his generation felt, raising issues in his proposals such as the fears we carry inside us, the aesthetic pressure, the disturbing feeling of having to reach a goal or of belonging to a group and the fact of being able to feel absolute happiness.

As for inspiration acting as a benchmark, the floral and geometric prints of the 70s and 80s, the volumes and ornaments of 18th-century painting and the layering of the 90s stand out.

In 2005, Anel Yaos studied at the Seville School of Art. In 2007, he studied Window Dressing at the Seville School of Art; in 2009, Fashion Design and Management at the Ceade-Leonardo School, Seville; in 2014, Fashion and Communication (innovation, creativity and new professional challenges) at the Pablo de Olavide School, Seville; and in 2014, he studied a master’s degree in Styling, Art Direction and Advertising at the Higher School of Design and Fashion, Felicidad Duce, in Barcelona.

Anel Yaos presented his first A/W 14 collection, entitled The Other Side of Heaven, at the Pasarela Andalucía de Moda fashion show, where he wins the Award for Best Young Designer in Andalusia. With this proposal, he won the prize for the best collection at the Lesley Nicole Sekulich Awards contest, while walking down the catwalk along with the latter at the Valencia Fashion Week. He presents a repeat show on this catwalk with his second S/S 14 collection, Rohumine, and won the award for Best Designer of the Season, walking again down the catwalk at the VFW with his third S/S 15 2255 collection.

From then on, he has presented all his collections at the EGO Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid Showroom for fifteen seasons.

In 2017, he presented his A/W 18 Odaxelagnia collection on the 080 Barcelona Fashion catwalk. Subsequently, he presented his new collections A/W 19 Ansia, A/W 20 Paradise and A/W 21 Monsters on the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid catwalk. He also presents Drop Encarni 22, which is inspired by his mother. Last but not least, he presents his A/W 23 Deep collection on the 080 Barcelona Fashion catwalk.
