Even though it is fashion week somewhere in the world today, my interviewee is a designer who has focused on made to order rather than just showing collections 2 or 3 or even 4 times a year. Aside from what you will see in his images, he has recently taken a bit of a departure and focused on one of a kind bridal gowns. Anyone in fashion will tell you that the most difficult of clients is a bride to be but Marbys Negretti has his own brand of secret weapon as well as the ammunition, as you will see in his images.

As I have said so many times, the internet has opened doors
and allowed me to meet some of the most incredibly talented, beautiful and
creative people from all over the world. To wit, today is all about one of them
… his name is Marbys Negretti. Senõr Negretti hails from Madrid and without the
exposure and help of social media he might have evaded my attention.

Marbys is a sort of ideal in many ways. He possesses matinee
idol looks and the body of a Greek god which is then compounded with an
abundance of creative abilities that render clothes for discerning women of the
world. Did I mention that he is as charming as he is handsome, well-mannered
and forthcoming? Very few can exude warmth in their words and yet you sense this
is innate. His work as well as his words
is testament to his dedication and love of fashion. Think on this one for a
second… he gives new meaning to the phrase body
of work!!

JF: If you could invite any 5 people to dinner, who would they be and why?
MN: for me it will be a fashion dinner. I would invite 5 stars/leading ladies;
women who I want to dress up who are in the spotlight! They are Jennifer Lopez,
Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Jane Fonda and Julia Roberts … so I think this
would be a lot of fun at my dinner.

JF: Do you have any style icons, mentors or those who influence you personally
as well as professionally and why did you choose them?
MN: My grandmother was my mentor. When she was taking care of me, I was
learning from her … her work was as a dressmaker but my inspirations, since
childhood, have been Valentino and Oscar de la Renta.

JF: If you could choose any collaboration, who or what would it be and why?
MN: Definitely if I have the opportunity to collaborate or work with a big
brand, it will be Oscar de la Renta because it’s completely the style of women
I like to dress.
