Alberto Benítez: «True elegance is in simplicity»
Gloria Casares
After having worked with designers like Ion Fiz in Spain and in London, where he worked with Emilio de la Morena, Alberto Benítez decided a few years ago to open his fashion design studio in Almendralejo.
Now, after a few years with his workshop, he admits that things are not easy in the world of fashion, but he is happy with the progress of the business and his clients are increasing, "this is a profession that you learn very little little by little to be able to specialize. And to achieve this, he tries to follow the advice that a friend gave him, to always keep his eyes wide open. He doesn't think it's more difficult because he has the workshop in Almendralejo. «It is that I want to shoot for the part of crafts. There is already a lot of fashion, everything is made in China and you have to distinguish yourself in a different way, mine I want it to be the artisan part ».

Although there are clients who are clear about the idea of the commission, «but I like to do a little bit of my part when designing the dress for you. I try to give him my pinch.
An admirer of Balenciaga and Raf Simons, designer of Prada and before Dior and Calvin Klein, Benítez loves simplicity.
“True elegance is in simplicity. The simpler the person goes and has a focal point, that is, the point where the gaze has to be directed, that if we have a very beautiful clavicle, then a bateau neckline. And then, make it super simple, but have something special about it." «The first thing I do is see the person, see what body he has and so you can know what can suit him better or worse».
