Luar designer Raul Lopez returned to New York Fashion Week with a new It-bag that went viral.
. “I always knew it was going to be a hit,” explains the designer. “I took the time to make sure it was perfect, because it’s so special to me.”caught up with the designer on his eponymous label, how it feels to have launched an It-bag, and why it’s so important to take care of your mental health in the fashion industry.“It came from my mum, who was in the industry back in the ’70s.
“It’s crazy that I hadn’t had a break for all of those years. I was depressed and my mental health was deteriorating. In a way, the pandemic was a gift because it taught people that they can actually take a break. You can always come back; it’s not that serious.” “I’ve had the idea to make that bag for 10 years and it’s named after my mum. It’s a good bag and made extremely well. I remember showing Telfar [Clemens] the design and he was like, “Bitch, you’re about to hit it out of the ballpark.” When the bag dropped, we went for dinner and popped champagne. We grew up together, so to have my friend – whose work I truly respect – be proud of me, was a highlight.
“I think people like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian would be incredible, as it feels right. But I also want to see people like Meryl Streep, Diana Ross and Michelle Obama wearing it, too. Also, everyone went wild for that photoshopped Jane Fonda picture that I posted, so she’d be great of course.”
