After graduating in Art and Antiquariat, she began to collaborate with contemporary galleries such as ISY Brachot in Brussels, Jorge Alcolea and Nieves Fern\u00e1ndez in Madrid, Leyendecker in Tenerife, Cleto Polcina in Rome, and was director of the contemporary art galleries KU of Ibiza.
\nLater, the designs of the great Italian jewelers crossed her way, stoking her interest in fashion. The mixture of these two worlds became intertwined in her trajectory, leading her to specialize in the search for particularities used in ethnic cultures and their transformation into Westernized fashion. Respecting the principles and values \u200b\u200bof each element, the designs contribute to Western culture and teaches us many unknown realities.
\nThis is how the brand LUCIA DE SU emerged, which created not only clothes but also accessories; bags, towels, sandals and jewelry.
\nIn her first collection she uses an ancestral fabric from Africa called KANGA that wraps the bodies of the African woman. These fabrics are made of bright colors, original designs, genuine prints and represent small works of art themselves.
\nEach KANGA has a phrase stamped on it, a proverb written in Ki-Swahili and according to its meaning the KANGA will be used at different and special moments of a woman’s life.
\nKANGA is the main mean of expression for women in West Africa. A woman personally follows the integral process for the realization of the KANGA, from the search for materials, to design, production and distribution.
\nFollowing the investigation of the African ancestral fabrics, Lucia travels the African continent promulgating the variety of fabrics of each place in her catwalks, revealing the cultural treasure of Africa.
\nThe Kenyan woman was able to communicate her thoughts and ideas since 1800 through the KANGAS they wore, long before the European woman could express her ideas publicly. Above all, these messages were accepted and respected. Today LUCIA DE SU, a conceptual artist from the Canary Islands, is making European fashion from the originality and origin of African culture.
\nTeaching the world the beauty of the African ancestral culture, being each fabric unique and handmade.
\nDressing this culture, with our own message, we are not only differentiating ourselves from the global standards of the fashion world, but we are part of this great social work giving jobs to the African continent.
\nThis initiative was awarded by UNESCO for promoting the Heritage of Ancestral Cultures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
