Born in the birth place of Salvador Dalí, in the city of Figueres, Spain, Beatriz Vázquez never fails to mention the artistic influence of the genius that is, Salvador Dalí.



"METALS IN DECADENCE" speaks of countercultural music, 
punk, grunge, rock in general and of the stages of life. The collection reflects a vision and world of it's own. A world which in their eyes is hysterical, frantic, mad and where nonsense is a fraud. 



The system today causes us anxiety, sadness, anger, rage and vulnerable to adversity. We create armor, shields to protect against everything, even against us.




Leather, which represents an extension of ourselves, a skin 
that tans hardens around us to protect the world.




"METALS IN DECADENCE", intended as a metaphor for the stages of life and being. Life in the beginning, is as precious as 
gold. It is bright. With the passage of  time it hardens, just like  our being. It loses it's clamor and brightness with as our life ages. All idealism is lost as it's precious form becomes 
decadent. 




As the very being, pure, clean and without malice in its infancy, slave fears, memories and ghosts in the twilight of their existence. Armor, like everything in life, gleaming in its earliest origins  to  finish  worn,  dirty  and  dull like  copper, so  the difference of three primary colors, three metals: gold, silver and copper. Heavy-metals that are combined with the wear of life, with bleach (tie & dye)to symbolize what was and what still lives in clothingsuch as armor wounds .












" El que ha dañado a un ser en un pasado, le otorga fuerzas para triunfar en un futuro. Porque del dolor, nacen las cosas más bellas e inexplicables y del sufrimiento los pensamientos más maravillosos".
"He who has hurt a human being in the past, gives him the power and strength for future success. Because the most beautiful and inexplicable things are born from the pain and suffering lets the most wonderful thoughts fly away."
