This is one of this epic pictures that will always make me smile.

Because I wonder what was I thinking right in that moment.

Gwyneth was real fun to talk to.Specially when I forgot the name of her

second child and swap it for a clever "them" rather than re-name him as "Kiwi" or

other tropical fruit.

2009-12-03T04:26:00.000-08:00

Few months ago,I twittered about wanting a Raquel Allegra dress sooo badly!

One of the replies came from the label Alecto Nyx ,from Mexico!

I was so pleased when the dress arrived that i did not mind one bit to go bare legs

just to be able to enjoy such an amazing shreedded piece!I also had the option

to choose how I wanted it to be and to have it custom made....

which was just what I was looking for!

I also had the opportunity to wear one of the latest pieces from PrincePelayo,

who created the "black hooded Cross",you already know WHERE to get it!

shoes-The Music Collection

Today I'm wearing one of my favorite jumpers,as you probably know by now,

I have an obsession with oversize knitted jumpers.So when Ines,Ivan and Brianda ,

designers of La Casita de Wen dy gave methis beautiful jumper from

their a/w 2009-2010 collection back in July I've been waiting to pair it with my

Frank Tell leather trousers for ages,but it wasn't warm enough for it till today!

I also found out that has now 30% off online!

Llevaba meses esperando a poder combinar este precioso jersey de La Casita

de Wendy con mis pantalones de cuero de Frank Tell. Desde que Brianda,Ivan e Ines

me hicieron llegar esta preciosidad con print de nubes no he parado de ponermelo,

aunque con este clima loco no he podido hacerlo como queria hasta hoy!

Aparte los que me leeis a menudo sabeis de sobra lo mucho que me gustan los jerseis

oversize y lo bueno es que este tambien lo puedes combinar como vestido.

Y me acabo de enterar que este jersey tiene el 30% de descuento a traves del blog

de la Casita de Wendy .Si os gusta, ni lo dudeis.

Mathilda's Inspiration

2009-11-25T11:39:00.000-08:00

Since a kid I always felt like Mathilda(Natalie Portman in Leon(1994))

Short hair,grunge style,crop tops,tomboy clothes and a black ribbon around my neck.

Frequently I remember I was once this girl.

And I feel very inspired.

Desde ninha me he sentido un poco Matilda(Natalie Portman en la pelicula

Leon(1994))Pelo corto y con flequillo("estilo frances" segun mi madre),

ropa mas bien masculina,donde los vestidos y los lacitos llamaban la atencion

por su ausencia. Y siempre una goma de plastico atada a mi cuello.

Suelo pensar en esta ninha a menudo.

Y me sigue inspirando.

This is the latest shoot I did for El Pais Semanal(Spain)

photographer: Antoni Bernad

Muchisimas gracias por los emails que he recibido durante los ultimos dias.

Especialmente a todos/as aquellos que se molestaron en escanear

y mandarme las fotos de EPS y XL Semanal. Muchisimas gracias,de verdad!

Aqui esta el bello resultado de la sesion para El Pais Semanal del mes de Octubre.

Fue una sesion dura,pues empezamos a las 8 am y no terminamos hasta las 10 pm!

Me lleve a mi preciosa perrita ya que veniamos directamente a Barcelona desde

Londres y aunque a ella le encanta posar y hasta consiguio colarse en alguna foto,

la pobre termino frita,literalmente en mis brazos.

Fue una experiencia inolvidable el haber sido fotografiada por el gran Toni Bernad.

Un sr muy divertido y que no deja de hacerte reir todo el tiempo amenizando el trabajo.

Nos lo hizo pasar tan bien incluso aunque tuviera que saltar mas de 50

veces subida en los "bicharracos" de los zapatos de la ultima coleccion de

Nina Ricci que Renee Lopez de Haro me enfundo para mi shoot individual,

o mantener el equilibrio al lado de la guapisima Judit Masco

(y lo digo con letras MAYUSCULAS,) sin aplastar a Akiko vestida en un total look

con super taconazos,todo de D&G.

(Aunque en realidad fue un dolor extremadamente placentero)...

Music Collection

2009-11-02T03:34:00.000-08:00

I am extremelly proud to present you my first collection:

The Music Collection

The past few months have been the most exciting ones of my life.

From last minute details to a thousand interviews...It's has been a beautiful

journey.Most of you (specially the spanish ones) already know what this is

all about.But I felt I needed to share it with the rest of my international readers.

The Music Collection has been yet the biggest collaboration of my career,

and also as a designer.Of course,I couldn't be more excited or happier,about

the amazing opportunity that I've been given and I feel very honoured to be chosen

the one in charge to make this collection a reality,even knwoing that

this has envolved a big responsibility.I must admit it has been a challenge to

design menswearfor the very first time,but I have loved the experience very

much! 12 months ago I was asked to design a collection that reflected the link

between music and fashion.Something that we all have experimented

with before.I felt I needed to dig into the concept a little bit more,

jut to end up realising the best way to express this was through my very

own eyes andexperience.I have always loved music specially rock and roll from

late 60s,70s tillnowadays...so it wasn't difficult to take influence from those

who have always inspired me.As I've been saying in previous posts,I've

taken references from Maddonna to Billy Idol(Generation X),

Bryan Ferry, Chris Martin,Kings of Leon,Siousxie and the Banshees,

Marc Boland to even The Who. I wanted my costumers to feel confortable

in their clothes,that they could jump and scream in them and

at the same time feel chic and elegant,all combined with a darker touch....

And this is when The Music Collection got shape and was about

time for it to be released,( the official launch was last 10th of september

in Madrid).The reason why this collection is only sold in spanish stores

is because the collaboration is between spanish label Adolfo Dominguez

(the brand for which I am creative director of their young line "Linea U")

and the number 1 spanish radio "40 Principales".But no worries you

can still BUY worldwide on the ONLINE STORE! You can find out

more about Music Collection here (remember to choose english language).

The shooting for the campaing took place during July 09:

my beloved Saga was in charged to capture through her

camera lensses the beautiful images above.

I was once again in charge of the whole concept as Creative Director.

Big thanks to my lovely TEAM!

PS. WE WANNA SEE HOW YOU ROCK IT!

send me your outfit combined with a Music Collection garment

and you'll be on our website!(amlulgala@gmail.com) remember,

Look of the Day.59: Frank Tell's show

2009-10-17T03:52:00.000-07:00

(As seen on ELLE U.S.A)

This is what I wore to Frank Tell's show during NYFW

Frank was kind enough to let me play around his own studio

and choose the piece I wanted to wear to his latest catwalk.

I falled in love with the leather trousers from his latest collection,

and I had to get myself a pair...

Este fue el vestido que elegi para asistir al desfile del disenhador Frank Tell,

el cual dejo que me perdiera en su estudio y que escogiera entre sus maginificas piezas

la prenda que vestiria en su desfile de s/s 10,la cual intente adaptar a mi propio estilo.

Idol's inspiration

2009-10-12T04:57:00.000-07:00

The 10th of September was launched The Music Collection,

the latest project I've been involved as designer and creative director.

(and my first commercial collection as a fashion designer).

Now available worldwide(to shop online) and in Spanish stores only.

When I was given the brief,I went through a long research process,

I had an extent look at many rockers and bands to fill my inspirations with,

from late 60s,70s and 80s till now.

But there has always been a man who fitted to perfection,my beloved Billy Idol

(yet another successful british man in music history)

He then become my main visual inspiration,and is not difficult to identify him

in my campaign .... where crosses and leather have been key items.

(and is NOW when you should look back the post I did about

crosses with Madonna ,Remember???)

This is one of the dresses from The Music Collection that I've paired with an Amazona Loewe

bag and Burberry Prorsum boots during Vogue's Night Out in Madrid.
