In 1968, he moved to France, where he studied art at the University of Vincennes. After his time in France, and another two years spent in England, he returned to Spain. He started to work in fashion in 1975, when he began to design his own men’s fashion clothes. At the start of the 1980s, his firm began to be recognised both nationally and internationally. Since then, it has not stopped growing and his designs are now available in 20 countries.
