Designer duo Antonio Burillo and Juan Carlos Fernández created The 2nd Skin Co. in 2006. The name of this young Spanish womenswear brand is a declaration of intent, and the skill and delicacy with which the designs are created literally sculpt the female form, using exquisite materials like taffeta, silk and ostrich feather.
The 2nd Skin Co. has two different collections. Its ready-to-wear offers simple sophistication while its hand-made collection offers customised design for bridal, ceremonial and evening wear.
Today, the brand’s versatile, unostentatious approach to luxury is available from 12 exclusive multi-brand shops in Spain. Hong Kong, Kuwait, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria and Andorra are the main global markets of a brand that exports 80% of output. With the arrival of the autumn-winter 2011/12 season, it will be entering the Chinese cities of Beijing and Shanghai, and Cannes in France.
Celebrities who have worn its designs include model Martina Klein and actress Natasha Yarovenko. Another famous customer at leading department store Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong is the wife of Jackie Chan.
