Based in Barcelona, ES, Gabriela Coll somehow seems more aligned with adjacent disciplines than directly with clothing design. Perhaps it's the sense of restraint evident in her work, and the definitive sense of proportion. Or the taxonomical way she numbers each collection and style, always referring to her archive when considering the new. Each collection is pared down to an essential idea, could be a color, textile, or current wardrobe need. It somehow makes it more exciting to consider how each piece goes with every other element in a given group. And how each could potentially work with the next.
