\"Imaginario<\/p>\n

Beyond signing iconic outfits, Alex<\/a> has created a visual imagery through references in fashion and art with which he has raised albums like ‘\u00cddolo’ with an incredible campaign , as well as vibrating editorials that connect characters from the urban scene like Sticky<\/a> or Flaca<\/a> with his spirit of renegades of fashion.<\/p>\n

The self-taught stylist has been a key part of the ‘Yelo’ crew<\/a>, together with C. Tangana<\/a> and photographer Javier Ruiz<\/a>, with whom he has built the hypnotic discourse and aesthetics of Anton’s universe. A transcendental language that encompasses all kinds of styles and timeless references of artistic transmission. Because art, if it has to do something, is to transmit and provoke.<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/p>\n

We talked to Turri\u00f3n<\/strong> (@alexturrion_<\/a>) about fashion in general and styling in particular. About his references and the way he has kept the image of the idol C. Tangana<\/a> in the hype.<\/p>\n

H \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>What elements are essential in an outfit signed by Turri\u00f3n?<\/p>\n

A\u00a0\u2013<\/em>\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/span>I think the most important thing is that it has consistency. Each person is different and has a different background. It doesn’t depend so much on the appearance of X pieces from the latest collection of the brands of the moment, but rather on the clothes complementing the message you want to convey. I have been collecting old pieces from some of my favorite brands for years and I love being able to use them now, mixing them with other second-hand, vintage or current collection garments.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If I had to choose something specific, shoes and sunglasses.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
