Retrospective not only provides a summary overview of the local designer’s career but does so in an original and experimental way, the result of a joint collaboration with photographer Alejandro Brito, responsible of all advertising campaigns and catalogues produced by the brand, as well as being a close friend of the designer he is an essential element of this project. Artist Jeriel Geronimo is responsible for the final artwork for all the photographs within the exhibition. "We thought that it might be interesting to provide a 'twist' to everything that had been done before. The brand has always been characterised by its use of colour, texture and use of prints. We took a risk by mixing all the collections and making them into one. Mixing up the prints from all the collections and creating something 'new' without it really being so,” explains Selim de Somavilla.

This meeting of synergies and aesthetic sensibilities between Somavilla and Brito has produced these exceptional images that embody Retrospective, and which celebrates the maturation of the brand and the designer’s belief in the 'new dandy', a man of refined tastes who likes to dress well, embodying a certain melancholy without sacrificing virility, despite a marked unisex influence.
