PROFILE

Txell Miras' Interview

Meritxell Miras Abella (Sabadell, 1976) made her début on the Gaudí Catwalk in Barcelona in September 2003 with a collection inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s Persona. In February 2004, she returned to Gaudí with her collection “2+1=3” and again in September 2004, with “Biography of biographies”. Since February 2003, she has been working in Milan producing women’s wear for British designer Neil Barrett (formerly creative director of Prada Hombre).

Her work is based on the construction and deconstruction of form, and owes a great deal to her training in the Fine Arts at Barcelona University (1995-1999). Her choice of colour is understated, with a preference for black, and her catwalk shows make a strong visual impact.

In June 1999, she took part in ModaFad in Barcelona and in November 2001, won the “Insideouting” competition organised by Milan’s Domus Academy. In September 2002, she was a finalist in Tokyo’s “Gran Prix” and in July 2003, the Camera della Moda Italiana made her most promising newcomer.< /SPAN>
