Meet Georgina Santiago from Spain

Please introduce yourself: 
My name is Georgina Santiago, I am from Igualada, a town near Barcelona, Spain, and I graduated in June 2012 at ESDI, Barcelona. Nowadays, I create synergies between fashion and art with a constant obsession for color.

What inspires you in general?

Colors are my main inspiration. I found out that color can tell more than a word.

Where are you based?

I am based in my hometown, Igualada.

What is it like to be a young designer in your city/country?

I used to go to Barcelona several times a week, to look for materials and inspiration. My town is just too small, but being a designer near Barcelona is grateful. There is a good cultural scene, music, galleries, restaurants, bookshops...but there is also a lack of other things that cities like Berlin or Amsterdam have.
