AGATHA RUİZ DE LA PRADA


AGATHA RUİZ DE LA PRADA  

 










 Agatha Ruiz de la Prada (Madrid, 1960) begins her professional career in 1981 in Madrid, presenting her first women's collection at Design Centre "Local".
In the early 80's she opens her first studio-shop at Marques de Riscal Street, Madrid. Soon after, she begins to take part in the Barcelona fashion week. She inaugurates an exposition of her drawings and "hand painted outfits" which are shown in several art galleries around Madrid.  




 Agatha became one of the main promoters of the "movida madrileña" ; a social and cultural revolution which took place in Madrid in the 80's, where many artists were featured. Since then, she has continued to participate  in an array of cultural events, such as "Thursday gatherings" with intellectuals and artists at her Madrid studio.


In 1986 Agatha takes part in a collective fashion show in France and begins designing accessories.  One year later she comes out with a line of bed sheets and linens. She also takes part in an exhibition under the title "A tribute to Balenciaga".
