Synopsis

Why did Almodóvar portray Montesinos in one of his films? Did Jean-Paul Gaultier and Gianni Versace take inspiration from the designer of “Made in Spain?” This documentary explores the life, work, and enduring influence of Francis Montesinos, the highly influential fashion icon of the 20th century.

Emerging in the 1980s, amid the lingering effects of a political dictatorship in Spain, Montesinos came to symbolize transgression, vibrant color, and freedom. With his audacious and unique approach to fashion, he crafted garments and looks that garnered international admiration and were widely imitated.

He played a pivotal role in establishing the “Made in Spain” concept, introducing Mediterranean style to global audiences.

In this documentary, the designer reflects on the most significant moments of his life, including the challenges he faced. Through interviews with his team members, friends, and fashion experts, viewers gain insight into the multifaceted legend of Montesinos.
