MAKING A SPLASH IN THE FASHION

Dec. 06, 2012 · Style

El Colmillo de Morsa began in Barcelona with the Catalan designers Jordi Espino and Elisabet Vallecillo. The pair graduated as fashion designers from the college, associated with the Ramón Llull University. After graduating, they decided to enter the business world, setting up their own label. With just a year behind them, and after taking part in many competitions and showcases in Spain (including the showcase for young designers at the fashion show in Madrid), they already have different points of sale in Barcelona.

The value of their pieces lies in the detail and the recovery of old-fashioned principles, bringing together tradition and modernity. They find their inspiration in primary elements, organic materials and nature, taking Nordic design as a reference. Their raw materials are characterised by the use of natural fabrics providing warmth and personal sensitivity. The label’s name, El Colmillo de Morsa, conceals its initial premise: a beautiful thing has different shapes, as many as the eyes that see it.
