Before first moving to London, Naranjo was used to people around him being more laidback. “In London people walk so fast,” he says. “Spain is another way of living. It’s much more chill.” Which is exactly what Naranjo’s year has not been. Following an encouraging reaction to his Autumn/Winter 2019 presentation in Madrid, he was added to the London Fashion Week schedule and had just one month to prepare for his first show. “I really wanted to come back and show in London because I studied at Central Saint Martins, so it was part of my creative life,” the designer explains. “As a young designer in London, you are in a sea of young designers, as it’s a city built for young people and new things. I love all the energy that fashion brings into the city, so I wanted to continue in London. In the end, all the effort paid off. I think it was a good starting point for my brand.”
