Ya habĆamos hablado en una ocasiĆ³n de Ć©lĀ al ser incluido en una lista de las personas homosexuales mĆ”s influyentes del mundo en 2012.
Acabamos de citarle al hablar de cĆ³mo una periodista de La Repubblica piensa que, cuando se habla del “PaĆs Vasco”, seĀ habla de “EspaƱa” . Pero esa era la parte “anecdĆ³tica” (por definirla de alguna forma) de lo que realmente es importante en la noticia.
Nos referimos a la razĆ³n por la que el diseƱador Joseph Altuzarra ha modificado su logo para que estĆ© basado en una tipografĆa vasca, o la razĆ³n que le ha llevado a que su nueva colecciĆ³n de primavera 2016, acaba de presentarĀ en Ā laĀ New York Fashion Week. Su reencuentro con susĀ raĆcesĀ vascas.
La “cosa” estĆ” dando bastante que hablar ya que parece que llame la atenciĆ³n que haya descubierto ahora que “es vasco” o que tiene una “herencia vasca”. Como si eso fuera algo extraƱo, o como si la relaciĆ³n con tus raĆces fuera grabada en el cĆ³digo genĆ©tico y no hubiera necesidad de descubrirlas aunque tu vida se haya desarrollado en lugares lejanos a la tierra de tus mayores.
En ese aspecto, igual alguien tendrĆa que explicarle a Mateo Schneier de The New York Times, para que entienda a que se refiera Altuzarra, Ā la historia de Maurice Ravel, el mĆŗsico vasco que creciĆ³ en ParĆs, influido por la cultura musical y los compositores que vivĆan en la capital francesa, pero que se sentĆa muy vasco.
Lo mismo que igual habrĆa que recordarle aĀ Laird Borrellli-Persson de Vogue, que las tradicionales alpargatas, conocidas en francĆ©s comoĀ espadrillesĀ tambiĆ©n se encuentran en el PaĆs Vasco continental.
Repasando los artĆculos tambiĆ©n podemosĀ ver que el error de la periodista de La Repubblica, no es algo aislado. Pero tambiĆ©n podemos comprobar cĆ³mo otros medios lo explican bien o leer las explicaciones del propio diseƱador sobre la “vuelta a parte de sus raĆces”.
Nos encantan las “Seis razones para amar a Altuzarra” de Rebecca Lowthorpe en la web ELLE (Recogido en el resumen)
Les dejamos las referencias que nos han parecido mĆ”s interesantes de las muchas que estĆ”n apareciendo en los medios sobre esta presentaciĆ³n.
Nota: la informaciĆ³n de taiwanĆ©s China Post, tiene fecha del 14 no por error, sino porque a la hora de escribir la notica en esa parte del mundo ya era “maƱana” Ā (jugadas del “huso horario”)

Pole dancers, celebs celebrate Wang’s 10th birthday
Basque culture inspired the collection from French-born designer Joseph Altuzarra, whose father’s family comes from the region.Ā He got the idea from an exhibition by photographer Charles Freger that featured pagan costumes worn in Europe at festival time.Ā “There was a whole section that was about all these Basque costumes … and that’s what started my thinking about Basque culture and about my heritage,” he said.Ā “Actually, the new Altuzarra logo comes from Basque typography, so that’s something that I am much more aware of and that I think that I am very proud of,” he said.

Altuzarra’s Fresh Lived-In Look
Altuzarra, Basque? News to at least this longtime spectator. So often is Joseph Altuzarra’s Paris upbringing cited as the root cause of his taste for urbane sensuality that the references tend to begin and end with that city.Ā “I’ve always been Basque,” Mr. Altuzarra said backstage, laughing. And this season, he let it show. His colors (rusty pumpkin, mossy green, deep blue) and materials (burlap and linen) channeled it; he’s got a dab hand with an espadrille.

NYFW | Altuzarra SS16
32 year old Joseph Altuzarra went back to the North of Spain for this collection and delved into his Basque family history ā the result? Earthy colours with a hint of fire, classic Spanish espadrilles sexed up with a stiletto (like you have never seen before!) and a beautiful pagan look that managed to keep the āSummer in Hamptonsā feel that graced Spring/Summer 2015, but departed from the glam and glitz of previous collections (fur, leather, metallics).
