TXELL MIRAS

Una llàgrima simplificada en el desig

La colección “Una llàgrima simplificada en el desig” es una adaptación de la exposición gráfica “el dolor cansat d’una llàgrima simplificada”, donde el sotobosque imaginario de la mente nos muestra la tristeza de las miradas que nos hablan en silencio del sentir intenso a través del cuerpo. Habla del dolor de la soledad en constante confrontación con el frenesí del deseo. Un jardín onírico donde conviven el agua y el ardor, el reposo y el sacudimiento, el hacer y el deshacerse. Múltiples miradas sedientas y a la vez serenas.

Trasladado a la colección, esto se manifiesta en una paleta de colores que contrasta blancos puros, metalizados y grises—gris piedra, gris ceniza, gris humo—con los tonos de la tierra y el bosque—barro, corteza, marfil crudo y verde apagado.

Las siluetas minimalistas y austeras combinan variedad de texturas en sus materiales: satén de viscosa, sargas de lana, franela, neopreno, tricot y canalé, entre otros.

Conceptualmente, cobra gran protagonismo la ilustración de estos rostros con miradas profundas a medio terminar, y los bocetos rápidos llenos de movimiento donde el deseo queda expuesto. De fondo, siempre permanece la huella del sotobosque donde habitan—con una colaboración especial con Pep Espelt de @jardins i flors.

    Meritxell Miras (Sabadell, 1976), known as Txell Miras, is a Catalan fashion designer with her own brand since 2004.
    Professional Career.
    A few years after graduating in Fine Arts in 1999 from the University of Barcelona, in 2003 she started working in Milan with the English designer Neil Barret, in his women’s line. Barret, with whom she worked part-time until 2016, encouraged her to create her own brand, which she debuted at the Gaudí runway in 2004. She presented a collection inspired by the film Persona by Ingmar Bergman.
    Txell Miras’ background in fine arts gives her creations a unique characteristic, with a strong interest in conceptual art, which is reflected in her work with form and concept. Her designs deconstruct the silhouette and play with layers and volumes, using a limited color palette, where white and black stand out. With these deconstructions and superpositions, she challenges the patterns of European tailoring, which is why she has been linked to the Japanese fashion of the eighties and Belgian fashion of the nineties. Miras confesses that she identifies with the Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo and the Belgians Maison Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester. [Descorsetant] In her presentations, she plays with photography, cinema, literature, and music, using them to build a critical discourse with the elites. [Framing]

    In 2024, she created the wardrobe for the Barcelona, Far al món show for the Opening Ceremony of the America’s Cup Sailing event in Barcelona.
    Her latest project has been the creation of the uniform for the Orfeó Català and all the other formations of the Escola Coral del Palau de la Música Orfeó Català.
    Awards and Recognitions.
    Throughout her career, Txell Miras has received various awards and recognitions for her work. In 2005, she received the Lancôme Award as Best Young Designer of the Year at the Gaudí Runway, and the following year, she won the “Barcelona es moda” Award for Best Professional in the Sector from the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce. In 2007, she was a finalist for the Mango Fashion Awards “El Botón” and the Gen Art New York Fashion Awards. Nominated in 2009 for the London International Creative Competition, in 2010 she won the On/Off Award presented by London Fashion Week. In 2016, she was awarded the Best Collection Award at 080 Barcelona Fashion.

    Her name has been included in reference books such as European Young Fashion Designers or 100 New Fashion Designers.
    The Design Museum of Barcelona holds models from the Descorsetant, Framing, and Conventual collections.
