The idea was
to put on an elegant upper part without a bra, and still have all
the support you need for the breast. My tops are made of cotton,
with a bit of lycra,
and are comfortable and sexy.
I came to think about tops because I grew up in quiet a warm place, where the heat in the summer often rises above 90 and with 70% humidity it easily becomes unbearable.
I am making them since shortly after I got my diploma of
fashion design, over 20 years back.
Much Later in Barcelona,
where I was working for a fashion shop during 1998-2000, I found enough
reason to think of new designs for new tops. Then I was lucky to find large quantities of small but beautiful pieces of
garments; those were leftovers that I could not throw away.
The city of Barcelona with its universities was
full of young, dynamic
and daring young girls and I designed and cut attractive tops with a
naked back.
There was rich variety of materials in that collection, so each top was
distinct and unique.
I used jeans, leather, synthetic fair, wool, soft baby alpaca wool,
jersey, and more.
I designed cool summer top but also made warm ones for the winter.
The girls liked them and it was a big success. Barcelona confection
industry naturally approved. After all, tops have an obvious
economical advantage cause they take half the material of a blouse to
make one. I at first used to work with 5 shops, but next summer all the
rest of the city was full of them.
Eventually, light and sexy tops are now common in BCN, and naked backs turned to common spectacles.
