SELIM DE SOMAVILLA

Born and based in Barcelona, Selim de Somavilla is formed as a fashion designer in this city and London. In 2005 he graduated in the Catalan capital and becomes a part of Martin Lamothe’s team during two collections. The British capital offers a new look, maturity and perspective for his future projects devoted to men’s fashion in his studies in LCF and work at The Rodnik Band brand. The man that he dresses knows no limitations. He’s a man with refined tastes that likes to be well dressed with a certain air of melancholy without losing virility despite the important unisex influence. De Somavilla gives essential importance to a “TOTAL” outfit idea in his collections designing also bags, shoes and jewelry.

In early 2012 shows his collection entitled MAELSTRØM was showed at the Fall-Winter ’12 edition of Valencia Fashion Week and in Move Sevilla.
