WHO IS /PAULA//CABALLERO/
Officially, fashion designer, specialized in menswear, but one day a friend discovered to me the concept of “information canalizator” and I also see myself represented with that. I consider myself a creative and proactive person, in need of new challenges all the time. People say about me, that I fulfill with energy everyproject I’m in, and everybody I work with. Thanks to my passion for Art and Reading, as a way to scape of the crazyness of the world, I have to admit that for me it is equally important the visual image and the words when expressing any idea. I’ve allways been very interested in all that has to do with 2.0 and Fashion. I’m an internet lover and I need to share with the world all I find in the Net. Photography is a late interest that I discovered, and since last year I don’t go anywhere without my camara. Ears and Eyes opened.

360Âş Tailoring A/W 2012 Ermenegildo Zegna <5/2011>
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My first Suitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was what Ermenegildo Zegna asked us for. Nowadays young people spend almost the whole day with the suit, they go to work, have lunch, go with friends, have a drink at night, travel, go to the gym, go in a harry everywhere. They need a suit that helps them in this life, for the 360 movements, for the 360 moments. Introducing 2 % of Elastano in the construction of the fabric, could help. The outside appearance is classic, only playing with small details, like the distances of the buttons, or resizing a bit smaller all the pockets.

SWING DI ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA Uppercasual collection S/S 2012 Ermenegildo Zegna <4/2011>
Checking who is the new gentleman and making a collection for him was the brief of this project. I chose as my New gentleman, Robert Rabensteiner. The characteristics are modernity, elegance, masculinity, intellectuality, own style, playful, colourful, good manners, use of patterns and textures. My inspiration was the Swing, the happiness, the need of comfortable garments to dance, and the fact that the swing was the jazz for the white people as the new gentleman is the modern version of the classical gentleman.

CONFORTABLY NUMB Knitwear collection AW 2011 <1/2011>
The contradiction of the the two words, confortably and numb, one with a positive meaning and the other with a negative meaning. Something apparently uncomfortable that becomes confortable. When you are relaxed and embraced, we are used to think that we are confortable, but this feeling are mixed up with the rhombus feeling of angles. Mix of yarns, naturals with artificial. rough with technologic. Soft and angles.

TELL ALL THE TRUTH BUT TELL IT SLANT SS 2012 collection For Giuliano Fujiwara <3/2011>
This project is inspired by the artwork of Marie Buskov “Tell all the Truth, but tell it slant, Success in Circuit lies” that explores the relationship between space and photography. Spatial collages of photographs links different times and places. They are three dimensional and floating, and in the room they are looked upon with a wandering eye. Also inspired by the collages of the constructivist László Moholy-Nagy and his “New Vision” experimenting with overlaping exposures. Gives as a resault an elegant and simple but functional collection that plays with the Layers of space and places but you can move around and beyond.

TOUCH Streetwear collection , SS 2012 For Gstar Raw <10/2010>
Touch speaks about feeling things, the tectile sensations that sometimes can be pleasing but also annoying. Textures that simulates the physical contact. The act of not only wearing a garment but feeling it. Reading a book in your denim trousers if you are able to understand braille. Touching the stones of the nature. Getting this effect thanks to a fabric treatment. Volumed accesories, inserting appliques to the garments.

ALTERED STATES ongoing project SS & AW 2010 <1-6/2009>
With this project I’m questioning about the challenge of time, that can be measured exactly, but at the same time can be so elusive. This collection wants to represent timeless, the atemporary moment that you get when you stop time. but you didnt stop time, you are just in the altered state, where you can flow. This altered state is a perfect balance between past & future. This combination makes a tale, an irreal world, where you can start to flow. This collection is for the people that lives or would like to live in this altered state. They are pushing 30, but they still need to play. They live in permanent revolution and free flow spirit. They are men at work 5+2 days a week, so they don’t have time or maybe don’t want to think what to wear in the morning or maybe they want to be identified by the altered state group by the garments they wear. So the Altered State group needs a uniform. Has to be all purpose garments (day and night time) practical and attractive, should be atemporary with a startling simplicity. The shape inspiration is the TUTA, the one piece straight line garment designed by Thayath of Florence. The collection consist in 8 outfits (7 days+1 to change) but all of them are almost in all the fabrics. Have to be simple to make (cheap) to understand the pattern after the years (tuta), atemporary. And timeless fabrics.

BLINDFOLDED FOR HENRIK VIBSKOV Concept Workshop, 2008 Instalation + Garment
In partnership with Irene Alonso
.What happens when you go blindfolded to a place that you know very well? .What if people forgets you when you are blindfolded? .What if someone ask you to write down what is going on your mind that moment? Stress, Anxiety, Vertigo, Lonelyness.... Raining men, Storm, Fluid, Go out.... We made two garments, the two of them were the same, but we could play with them inside in order to express our feelings.

THE INFLATABLE CHAIR COAT FOR BLESS Concept Workshop, 2007 Instalation + Product
In partnership with Morizt Willborg, Melanie Lucienne, Maria Serret
Took part of a week workshop with the german fashion designers BLESS, in the Karlsrhue Product Design University, Germany. We were half fashion design students from IED madrid (under selection) and half product design students from Karlsrhue University. We mixed specialities, made groups and started to work with the subject matter, curtains. Our group wanted to do something with mobile fashionable architecture. So at the end we did a curtain that covers our body (coat) and a curtain that covers you from other surfaces, like the floor (chair), it is also a curtain for the rain. The back of the coat can be auotoinflated, turning into a chair.
