Daniel & David Megias Warburton created their brand<\/a> Warburton in 2019 to show the world through his designs his Murcian and Scottish roots. His technical and functional garments have conquered artists around the world. Singers like Young Thug, Recycled J, Blxst and countless names already trust in his already consolidated project. More than 8 years learning the industry in a self-taught way, his brand is postulated as one of the most prolific of the country at international level (if then the brand is on top, do not say that we have not warned you).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a frenetic week in the capital, in which the brothers came to see first hand the new album of their friend Cruz Cafune, I met with them to talk about what it was like to create an exclusive collection for Anuel, their roots between Scotland and Murcia, parading in Paris, and how it is to establish themselves in an international scene being a brand still very small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HIGHXTAR (H)-<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> How about the listening party of the new album MMCD by Cruz Cafun\u00e9? How is it that you came specifically to see him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARBURTON (W)-<\/mark> <\/em>A real madness, a great project. We know him through Jack(@j_higgz<\/a>), who met him going to the Velada 1. In the end we move with Jack as if we were one, so when he came to sing in Murcia we met him. Also through Ana Sotillo,<\/a> who asked us for a Pearl necklace for him a couple of years ago. Then the relationship has been evolving until today, where we already have love for the islands. In fact there is a very good connection between what is happening now in the islands and what we are creating in Murcia..<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(H)-<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> You have a great relationship with both national and international artists, whom we have seen wearing your pieces. Making an exclusive collection for Anuel has probably been the most important milestone in your career. How did it come about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(W)-<\/mark> It was crazy. It’s actually something we had been working on since November. We were contacted by someone from his team via DM. It was funny because it was like a message that maybe you wouldn’t take too seriously<\/strong>. They didn’t even mention Anuel at any point. One day we got into conversation and this person told us that worked with international artists and asked me if we could develop some customs for Anuel. We saw the possibility of doing it, and a little later in November we met for the first time here in Madrid. At the meeting we were told that they really liked the aesthetics of the brand and that it would fit well with the styles that Anuel wanted to start wearing, so what was initially going to be a few customs became an entire collection for his tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were not able to do a fitting in person, so the sizing was more complicated. Then on the leather issue, we include our embossing in the jackets. Ours is well done because we have already done many tests and we know how to proceed. But for Anuel we created two, the A with star and the G27 -which was from a group he belonged to before- and the leather broke at the beginning. After all, these are things that you test for many weeks and we only had two or three weeks to get everything ready. But in the end we were able to do it and we are proud of the result.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Embossing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(H)-<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> A real madness, of course. I imagine it must have been super challenging but very satisfying at the same time. How has it been for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(W)-<\/mark> <\/em>It has been an incredible experience. We love all these projects with artists because they put us to the test. Even when an artist is not from the Warburton universe, we managed to make a hybrid between the artist and the brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From their team they gave us a lot of creative freedom and the collection represents us a lot. We are very proud, but also logistically it has been a challenge. Although all the conversations began in November, the project was finalized in early April with a delivery date on the 28th of the same month.<\/strong> Three weeks of real stress in which we had to make a fitting, order fabrics, modify patterns, make samples and finally produce the 40 pieces that make up this collection, all this with Easter and Spring Week in Murcia in between. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something that happens with our brand, and we believe that with most that are emerging that, you always want to give maximum confidence and professionalism in each project, but, for example in our case, we are three in a studio, so the collection has been a very challenging project but that has managed to get the best out of us; and we have performed at a high level.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have taken the opportunity to document the whole process of the development of the collection in order to show a little from the inside how a project of this type is lived. Among other things because we think it is interesting to see how a collection develops as you work on it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They asked for a collection of 30 looks, but 30 looks in 3 weeks was unfeasible for us logistically<\/strong>. So<\/strong>, we decided to create pieces like the nylon bomber or the modular vest from which you can get different combinations and thus have a different garment. It is something that they also liked a lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(H)-<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> You never got to meet Anuel? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(W)-<\/mark> <\/em>We were going to bring the collection in person to Miami, but<\/strong> we only had the final version two days before we had to deliver it. On those dates Anuel had different commitments and was already preparing the shows so we have agreed to coincide when he comes to Europe, in fact he is coming to a festival in Murcia in mid-July. We are particularly excited so that he can perceive and know us as the brand that we are. We would love to discuss the collection with him and let him see that we are still a brand from Murcia composed mainly by three people; and that we have developed this with all the love in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(H)-<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> Let’s see who is the next victim, who would you like to dress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(W)-<\/mark> <\/em>Drake, Drake would be great; or some artist from the British scene. We for example admire Skepta for what they represent culturally in the UK although in our studio lately Cench(Central Cee) sounds a lot. Not just because of who they are but because on a creative level they fit our vision very well; their style is very technical, very functional. Plus they’re the kind of artist we’ve been listening to for as long as we can remember. If we ever get that opportunity we are sure that something very interesting would come out of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(H)-<\/mark><\/em> When artists wear Warburton, do you already know that they are going to wear it or do you often find it on social media? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(W)-<\/mark> <\/em>Normally if we are asked for a placement for a specific occasion we usually know because we have direct relationship with the stylists or talent. On some occasions we have found in social media that an artist has worn Warburton.                <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent case is that of Reezy<\/a>, a German rapper who has visited Barcelona several times during the year and went to The Garden to buy, which is where Warburton is sold. Karim, who is one of the owners of The Garden wrote to me the first time and told me that a famous German rapper had just come in and had taken several pieces of Warburton. Days later I saw that in one of his concerts he had used our clothes. After a while he came back to Barcelona and spent a lot of money on the brand. That’s when I wrote him and said: “Hey, we would love to make you a piece and take it to Germany to a concert”.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dream was to meet him in real life and have that personal contact with a person who had invested so much in the brand. Also to see what was happening in Germany on a cultural level because for some time now we have seen how the German music scene has been breaking down borders. In the same way, fashion there is also positioning itself and we were very curious. So last week we traveled to Berlin, gave him the vest and saw the show which was crazy. Then we had some time to talk to him about both music and fashion and to feel that mutual admiration was an incredible experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
