Hi, I am José Bellonez y I would like to tell you a story.

My story..

Ya desde muy pequeño me encantaba jugar con los retales y botones del taller de mi madre y guardaba todas esas sobras en una caja cómo si fuesen mi tesoro. Poco a poco a descubrí lo maravilloso que es el diseño y costura. Empecé hacer monederos con todos esos restos de tejidos que regalaba a mis amigos y en poco tiempo estaba cosiendo vestidos a mi hermana y mis sobrinas, las «Top Models» de mi casa.

I learned by watching my mother, sewing and undoing, some things better and others worse, but my tenacity and the best teacher I had made me love and respect this profession.

But life had a plan B for me, I ended up studying nursing and forgot what I really wanted. I would like to meet again a patient with whom I gained confidence and thank him. During his admission he opened my eyes and reminded me of what life is, what it is to fight for your dreams and how fast life goes by. Soon after I went to London to train as a fashion designer. Today I run my own atelier.
