Evaluna Montaner se siente plena y disfruta cada instante de felicidad mientras espera la llegada de Índigo, su primer hijo con el cantante colombiano Camilo Echeverry. En todo este tiempo de alta exposición pública, desde las giras junto a su marido al casamiento de su hermano Ricky y Stefi Roitman en Buenos Aires, fue madurando una idea en silencio, un proyecto que la llevó a poner en juego otra faceta de su paleta artística.
La hija de Ricardo Montaner y Marlene Rodríguez tiene ante sí un apasionante desafío: el inminente lanzamiento de una cápsula de zapatos de la marca del célebre diseñador argentino Ricky Sarkany. Con una emoción contenida por meses, la cantante compartió con Infobae la historia detrás de este nuevo proyecto que se remonta a los recuerdos más profundos de su infancia.
“Mi prenda favorita de ropa o accesorios siempre han sido los zapatos. Son mi debilidad, los amo”, dijo la artista, poco antes de emprender el regreso a Miami desde Buenos Aires.“Traveling to Argentina and going to buy Sarkany was the happiness of the world because my mother also loved those shoes since always.And just my little piece was large enough to enter one of Sarkany's shoes, I started using them and marked my lifestyle ”.
As if it were a Latin American Cinderella story, Evaluna grew up with that dream that is about to fulfill.What the screenwriter did not imagine is that the chapter was going to be written in a climate of fullness as a woman and as an artist. Durante el último tiempo, la cantante trabajó codo a codo con Ricky Sarkany y Lorena Tarabini, directora de arte y diseño de la marca. “Desde que surgió la idea, estoy emocionadísima y ni hablar cuando nos pusimos a diseñar. Tiene una variedad y tantas cosas tan bonitas que espero que les guste a todos”, se entusiasma la cantante sobre este proyecto que estará disponible a partir del 20 de enero en las tiendas de Argentina y Estados Unidas.
"How was the design process?"
—It was to play and dream in the fun way possible.We spent hours and hours in our preferred coffee in Miami in which they brought me a suitcase full of fabrics, colors, textures, soles, and we created from there.I always liked the boots and platforms, but we didn't keep that and we chose something specific for every moment. Cuando vean la cápsula van a ver que hay de todo: botas, sandalias, plataformas, zapatillas; y cada una de ellas surgió desde mi imaginación: así como me sueño un zapato, así lo hicimos.
It is the first time that Sarkany makes a capsule.This is a limited edition for which they chose an artist with whom they found an immediate connection.For Evaluna it meant a new challenge in its wide artistic palette and found in Ricky and its slope Lorena to the best possible interlocutors. “Ellos son tan creativos y me dejaron soñar lo más alto que quería soñar, y eso es un gran problema; porque una se acostumbra a trabajar con personas que hacen que los sueños se cumplan muy fácilmente”, destaca la autora de “Uno más uno”.
Café to Café, the singer began to see that what arose in her head could express it in the words and move it to a role, and as by magic everything gained form. “Ver lo que una imagina plasmado en lo físico, y además que mi nombre está puesto al lado del de Sarkany es… uff, gigante”, afirma emocionada y recibe la devolución de los diseñadores."What we saw in evalu.
With each pie that came out of Sarkany's magical suitcase, the ideas began to accelerate. “Ellos me decían ‘hicimos esto pensando en que lo uses en tu show’, y luego terminamos haciéndolo para una cápsula, una bota transparente, rosada, algo completamente loco”, aporta la cantante como ejemplo de su colección y enfatiza la química que se creó con los diseñadores.As part of that creative round trip, from Sarkany they approached Evaluna's artistic production: they listened carefully to their songs, they attended their concerts, began to pay special attention to decode their inspirations and see what they could contribute accordingly.
“They imagined what I was like, showing me ideas and we managed to combine a lot of little things.And I showed them photos of shoes that I liked very much, I arrived at the meeting with some Sarkany boots that are my favorites and we also inspire ourselves a little in them! ”, The artist acknowledges on that first meeting, to which he went to Calzada for the occasion.
—You are actress, singer, now a designer.How do you combine the different artistic concerns?
"I think it's impossible to divide, I don't feel that every artist is different.I was born with something that my parents put in the mixture and I had to follow my life for something that had to do with creativity. Poder usar todo eso en estas diferentes ramas artísticas es una bendición gigante, y en esta nueva aventura pude jugar bastante.I hope we continue to create because just as we did many, we stayed with a lot to do.Let's have to make another capsule
"Soon, you could consider a challenge that is to design a footwear for Camilo to wear at concerts.
-(laughs) I do not know if singing, but we will have to make male designs so that the shoes that are put by getting off the stage are designed by us...This point is a bit funny, and it is even more comic because I also love being barefoot all the time I can.But once I'm going to leave, I base all my clothes on the shoes that I'm going to wear, I start defining all my wardrobe from there, that's why I would also have all the meaning of the world to start here to make the capsule.
—It talked a lot about the boots you wore in the marriage of your brother Ricky and Stefi Roitman.Are they from the capsule?
"No, those were a Sarkany gift.But I have used many models in all the concerts of this last tour, because they managed to deliver them on time then I had several options to look.They don't know how many people asked me about the shoes and I wanted to count absolutely everything, but I couldn't.Then I told them "very spectacular surprises are coming", and it was like showing them from A Poquito, like a snack.Now finally came the day of telling the world.
"And in the midst of all this, how do you prepare for the birth of your first child?"
"Very good ... and I already have my Sarkany baby shoes!"(Laughs).When I went to the office they made me a gift for him: his first pair of shoes, which obviously had to be Sarkany.I am very happy, fulfilling all my dreams.
