The cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Madrid and Barcelona need no introduction when they hear the name Amanda Portillo. The Madrid native, who has also lived in Barcelona, has always rubbed shoulders with the top artists, actors and designers of the moment. A lover of good living and luxury, we spoke to Amanda Portillo about her latest project, First Class.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her distinctive creative universe has led her to collaborate on designs for Mar\u00eda Escot\u00e9 and Nike,<\/strong> to DJ at the most exclusive events, to share the fashion label ASIF Clothing<\/a><\/strong> with the Javis<\/a><\/strong>, to be the creative image of Cha Ch\u00e1 The Club<\/a><\/strong>, to be behind the cover of ARON<\/a><\/strong>‘s latest single and, now, to participate in the latest Netflix<\/a><\/strong> reality show “First Class”<\/strong> with her friends.<\/p>\n

Highxtar (H)<\/strong><\/span> – After watching all six episodes of First Class in one sitting… Sum up for us who Amanda Portillo is.<\/p>\n

Amanda Portillo (A)<\/span> – <\/strong>I’m Amanda, I’m an artist from Madrid, although First Class says that we’re a little group from Barcelona, I’m not, I’m from Madrid and in love with Madrid. I’ve been working in the fashion industry for years, always on the creative side, although I do a bit of everything. I paint realism and I recently got into the world of music as a DJ. I’m a fast learner so I tend to jump right in and learn new fields, I wouldn’t want to keep anything that I’m worried about in the pipeline. You have to learn everything and say yes to everything even if you don’t know how to do it, there is always time to learn something new and if you like to go for it too, I’m not one of those who is dedicated to only one thing.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That’s why I also said yes to this project. I must stress that I am not a rich girl, I simply have the talent to enjoy myself, to make the most of life and I have been trying to find a way to get to the place I want to be and to be able to dedicate myself to what I really like. I can assure you that in my case I have had to study and work a lot to be able to be where I want to be.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(H)<\/strong><\/span> – Did you ever think you’d end up appearing on a Netflix reality show with your friends?<\/p>\n

(A)<\/span> – <\/strong>It’s not a reality show, it’s a kind of docuseries, sometimes I’d say it’s a mockumentary, without being “Paquita Salas”, of course. No, it’s a joke. The truth is, yes, we’ve been offered similar things for a long time at different stages of my life and with different groups of friends. As I say, I’ve done everything and for some reason it’s always surprising what I do and the people I usually have around me, who are always cool. So we had been offered something similar, but not for something like First Class.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

First Class is a simple showcase for the spectator in which a group of friends do things, not spectacular but somewhat special, in my case I wanted to be as natural as possible in a format like this and make the spectator have a good time at home. Nothing more than that.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
