We are going to recommend some plans during working days 

Monday

To start the week the best you can do is go to the shop to the Farmer’s market at Union Square. The best places for buy fresh fruit and vegetables, an alternative choice instead the classic grocery store, even the day is not the best, you can breath some fresh air and get your fridge full with healthy food.

Tuesday

Do some running or Yoga in Central Park or Bryant Park. You can schedule in your calendar the next May 19^th, where the new Bryant Park Yoga Season will return again. So meanwhile the good time arrives you can walk and see how the leaves turn to green or how the Spring is coming, a little bit slow but is on its way.

Wednesday

In the middle of the week, a good choice is to go with your friends to have dinner to Bagatelle, a French restaurant situated in the heart of Meatpacking. It is an amazing place; very light, sophisticated and elegant. You can feel the touch of spring in the food, the decoration. Really recommended place before you can do picnics in the parks.

Thursday

To look fabulous for the weekend you can go to do your manicure and pedicure. The nails need to be colored with a light and spring color for the sunny days. One of my favorite places is the Essie Nail Saloon also known as the Samuel Shriqui Salon. It is situated in the Upper East Side, so you can buy some clothes or just walk after the service. There you can relax and choose between the amazing Essie colors to be fashion this spring.

Friday

Friday is one of our favorite days of the week. Time to relax and get ready to receive the spring in the best Spa in the city, Aire Ancient Baths. Here you can relax your mind and your body, get a massage and prepare yourself for the Spring fashion clothing, the colors and the sun.

How does N.u.s.k start?

N.u.s.k is the result my wises that are offer fashion without lose quality and style respecting the environment.

After several years working in different international brands such as Hoss Intropia or Sita Murt, I decided to create my own collection. The idea of create a fashion brand based on " slow fashion", I think is the better way to live fashion.

How do you define the firm?

Atemporal eco chic Made in Spain

What is the philosophy of the brand?

N.u.s.k offers clothes created by a process based on slow fashion concept, the objective is create a brand with style 

The quality is a must and it is for that I use eco materials or recycled. The manufacture is local Made in Spain as the materials, we produce in spanish ateliers. The sustainability is fashion, is my way of thinking and it is for that you can see in my collection atemporal clothes going away the "fast fashion". You buy what you need, is better buy more quality and less quantity.

What are the influences of the brand?

Nowadays there is a high saturation of fashion and you can find a lot of different fashion brands. For me when I created my own firm the most important thing was create a firm with criteria and classy. The challenge was make an ethic brand for real women that love and enjoy fashion.

The inspiration of my designs came from different concepts: discover the world, the urban thinking, the nature from the traditions to the contemporanean time. Every small detail makes my designs different. 

Celebrity crush?

Diane Kruger

Key moments of the brand?

N.u.s.k is a emerging brand so now every time is a key moment for me. In commercial terms I participated in  CIFF Copenhagen  and 080 Barcelona and they were very important moments for the brand.

What does USA mean to N.u.s.k?

USA is a market that give special important to eco fashion and has a huge market for slow fashion brands. For me is a chance. 

And work with Beiñ?

It means the opportunity to open and explore a new market. I feel Beiñ as a common project. 

¿Cómo nació la marca?

N.u.s.k nace del deseo de ofrecer moda y productos justos sin sacrificar estilo y calidad.

Tras varios años de experiencia en empresas como Hoss Intropia y Sita Murt, decidí  lanzar mi propia colección.

La idea de construir una colección basada en un proceso de diseño más pausado y sostenible parecía la mejor manera de volver a la moda.

¿Cómo definirías el estilo de la marca en una frase? 

Atemporal eco chic Made in Spain

¿Cuál es la filosofía de la marca?

N.u.s.k ofrece prendas creadas siguiendo un proceso de diseño slow el objetivo es crear una marca con estilo sin renunciar a la sostenibilidad.

La calidad es un must, por eso uso tejidos ecológicos, o reciclados. La fabricación es local apostando por la calidad tanto en la  materia prima como en la fabricación. La sostenibilidad no debe estar reñida con la moda. Presento prendas de recorrido más largo, atemporalesy de líneas puras… huyendo del usar y tirar y del fast fashion.

Sería bueno empezar a comprar menos cantidad y más calidad.

¿Cuáles dirían que son o han sido las mayores influencias a la hora de definir la marca?

Creo que hoy en día hay sobresaturación de marcas de moda, lo más importante para mí, era crear una marca con criterio y carácter. El reto es crear una marca ética y sostenible para mujeres que les gusta y disfrutan de la moda. Las influencias son un cúmulo de diversos conceptos que jugando con ellos me ayudan a dar el carácter que define a la marca. La inspiración viene de la exploración y curiosidad por el mundo que nos rodea, de lo urbano a la naturaleza, desde las tradiciones a lo más contemporáneo, cada pequeño detalle hace cada prenda especial. 

¿Famoso preferido / celebrity crush?

Diane Kruger

¿Cuáles han sido los momentos clave en la trayectoria profesional de la marca?

N.u.s.k es una marca joven, así que ahora mismo todos los momentos me resultan clave. Aunque a nivel comercial, la asistencia a ferias como CIFF Copenhagen y 080 Barcelona han sido vitales para dar a conocer la marca y captar nuevos puntos de venta.

¿Qué significa Estados Unidos para la marca?

Es un mercado que aprecia y valora la sostenibilidad en moda. Estados Unidos representa la oportunidad de consolidar la marca.

Dinos en una frase qué significa para ti trabajar con Beiñ.

Significa la oportunidad de abrir y conocer un mercado nuevo para la marca, lo siento como un proyecto en común.

Colorful, sun, happiness and good mood are the messages that Guiëm wants to trasmit with his spring/summer collection.

We met him in a typical underground area in Madrid, Malasaña. This place is amazing to get new ideas and see new trends.

We said hello and he started speaking about his new collection...

This is a collection very different of the others because the designs are more simple and easy to wear. The whole collection is based on sweaters and T-shirts grey and white. And as a good new this collection is UNISEX so women can wear it too.

Geometric lines and pastel colors are the protagonists of the collection. I wanted to create funny, comfortable and atemporal clothes.

Also I wanted to play with the "twin" concept is when you can combine your clothes with your couple, friends...

We saw the designs and we love them and the UNISEX concept is amazing but we want to know a little bit more...

With this collection I want to transmit the spring touch, hacines  good weather...is the time to do what you want and enjoy everyday. Spring is the time to be different and be free and my designs say it.  

We touched the designs and what kind of materials do you use?

Cotton is the protagonist as in the other collection, but I have used in some of them polyster to make the clothes lightest and with best fall.

And what is your favorite design?

I love sweaters of Love and Hate, they are my favorites. I think this creation reflects perfectly the love/hate relationship we have. 

And now we want to know more about future plans for the brand, what are the following steps?

The idea is continue looking for new sales points in USA, Europe and Spain. I trulla think that you can make it real when you have a good distribution network.  

When you talk with him is really nice..."good mood" and you can see it in his designs but how is the client of Guiëm?

I think they value the originality and creativity, they like to wear what they are. People that feel in a good mood all time and they always see the positive

part of the things. I would like this will be the essence of Guiëm and the people that wear it. 

And for ending... as a Made In Spain deisgner we want to know what have been the best moment for the brand? 

The best moment is when you see and hear good thing about the brand and when the costumer starts to feel the brand. 

We meet Eva at Moda 22, a coworking space where she develops the Ecoology designs. She has her own space, a small and charm office. There is a White closet where she keeps the clothing patterns. Also there is a sign where you can read I buy, I decide. It is the slow fashion movement slogan. In the table there is a computer where she designs, the inspiration book and some fabric samples. The office has a hanger and shelves where she has her work. "THE EVA´S WORLD"

Eva explains to us a little bit more about her New Spring/Summer 2015 collection, where the up cycling has an important paper. Black is the unique color and it makes contrast with the red flowers prints from the up cycling fabrics. We love the effect and the style and we fall in love with the collection from the first moment.

This time the fabrics are organic cotton mixed with up cycling fabrics. The lines are simples and straight. In the new collection there are shorts, skirts, t-shirts, dresses and jackets. This is a 6 clothing capsule’s collection where Ecoology surprise with the design and creativity MADE IN SPAIN.

Eva shows us the Moda 22 ‘s showroom where we can see all the clothing. Also she explains to Beiñ how design one of the most original clothing of the collection: the t-shirt with a web in the back. 

After spend with Eva such a fabulous morning we have to leave. We hope to see this new Spring/Summer 2015 collection MADE IN SPAIN in the New York’ streets. Definitely we love it!
