Manuel Pertegaz<\/strong> (Olba 1918 – Barcelona 2014) has been considered the most important Spanish couturier along with Balenciaga.<\/p>

Pertegaz<\/strong> defined the elegance of the Spanish woman for decades, a distinguished elegance, a serene and delicate glamour. His concept was that of a swan woman, fragile and majestic at the same time. She had an innate ability, only within the reach of the great creators, to turn everything she touched into a classic, which is a way of making modernity endure. His influence persisted into the 21st century, adapting to the constant changes in the world of fashion, while remaining true to his style. <\/p>

Pertegaz<\/strong> never wanted to fall into the fashion uniform to which ephemeral trends sometimes lead.<\/p>

Discipline, constancy and fortitude were present throughout his career, but his creative engine was undoubtedly the obsession for the infinite search for perfection, which is never achieved, but when it is reached, it fills everything with meaning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From a young age he showed an interest in fashion, beginning his career in Barcelona as an apprentice tailor at the age of 12. In 1942 he founded his own couture house and his elegant and refined style brought him international fame. He received numerous awards, including the‘Oscar of Fashion<\/strong>‘ in the U.S. in 1954 and dressed great stars such as Audrey Hepburn<\/strong> and Ava Gardner<\/strong>. <\/p>

Known for his style that highlights the feminine figure with soft and sophisticated lines, Pertegaz<\/strong> was a pioneer in ready-to-wear design.<\/p>

Throughout his career, he refused to direct the house of Dior<\/strong>, preferring to continue with haute couture in Spain. In 2004, he further consolidated his prestige by designing Queen Letizia<\/strong>‘s wedding gown. <\/p>

Despite his worldwide success, Pertegaz<\/strong> remained loyal to his team and his country, running his Barcelona atelier until his death in 2014.<\/p>

His legacy includes multiple awards, such as the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts<\/strong>, the National Fashion Design Award<\/strong> and the Golden Needle<\/strong>, recognizing his immense contribution to Spanish fashion.<\/p>
