Made in Spain by Pedro García

Night was falling. Blue turned to indigo and pink to violet. Colors that now seem like a foretaste of the nights that were to come. We were arriving in Barcelona, heading for the Magic Fountain. Our first encounter with a destination we'd longed to see. Expecting something special-what exactly, we didn't know. The city lights were coming on. We drove along Gran vía. Barcelona didn't disappoint. It was frivoulous and pragmatic, as dazzling and contemporary, as unique and as far removed from the clichés we had hoped. We wanted the city to show its other face, the flipside of its Modernista architecture, the tribes of skateboarders, the multi-colored Tower of Babel on the Ramblas. It did. It revealed sophisticated interiors with mirrored ceilings, laminated walls, carpets in saturated colors and decorative floor tiles. It surprised us with the extravagant entrance halls designed by famous architects. It led us to the haunts of the cultured, libertine gauche divine that made the city fashionable in the '70s. It offered up designer objects with the gift of eternal youth. It entertained us in clubs hidden behind neon windmills. But all this was yet to come when we arrived at Monjuïc, the mountain where we found the symbol of the city that was about to welcome us. When its jets fired dancing colors up towards the sky, the magic ensued. The night has just begun in Pedro García's Barcelona.

Así es cómo empieza el catálogo de presentación de la colección autumn-winter 2014/2015 de Pedro García que me dieron cuando estuve en su tienda. Se trata de una colección bastante completa dónde día y noche conviven perfectamente y dónde el estilo y la funcionalidad van unidos. Me gustan. De hecho, me gustan mucho. Por la sencillez de sus líneas, por lo ingenioso, por la efectividad con la que los zapatos van a mejorar mi día a día, por su comodidad y sus materiales, su color, la calidez del ante. Por muchos motivos o por uno solo, pero no hay duda que los zapatos nada más verlos y probarlos me hicieron sentir bien. Es una colección actual, me veo con ellos y los quiero en casa. Decidido: lo compro.
