Cristina Pedroche’s appearance on Antena 3’s Chimes program continues to spark conversation across audiences. For this event, the presenter chose a look described as lively and biodegradable, featuring a transparent, green-tinged dress crafted from gelatin, agar, glycerin and water. The design drew notable attention as Pedroche led viewers through the broadcast, and she later appeared on Zapeando this Tuesday to share additional details about the creation and its practical nuances.
Pedroche’s stylist visited the LaSexta studio to answer questions from colleagues. The team explained the practicality and spectacle behind the dress. It was noted that fitting such a garment into normal city spaces is a challenge; as one collaborator put it, it would be difficult to place the dress inside a standard ten-foot bucket and still retain its dramatic impact. The stylist described the dress as arriving in a stretched state, about three meters long. The process to give it its final form involved arranging it on a mannequin and manipulating seams and zippers to coax the sculpture into shape, while the wearer carried it in the bucket as a temporary support during transport.
Regarding where the dress currently rests, Josie clarified that the piece is under the care of its designer. Paula Ulargui holds the dress, guarding it carefully. The hope is that it will be kept safe and sound into the next year, with the possibility of it being worn again by Dabiz Muñoz as a future highlight of a culinary and fashion crossover moment.
There was a cautionary note about the garment’s integrity if it became wet. The consensus was that water would cause the material to lose its structure. As long as it remains dry, the dress holds its sculpture and color. Once exposed to warmth and moisture, the material would begin to return to its original, more fluid state, effectively dissolving the sculpted form. For now, it remains protected and intact, allowing the team to preserve the design and its symbolic message about creativity and sustainability.
Beyond the structural details, the interview touched on sensory aspects connected to the piece. Pedroche was aware there would be a natural dampness associated with the material, and the collaborators noted that the initial scent was not exceptionally pleasant. In the early moments of donning the dress, a musky, organic aroma was described, a reminder that the garment was built from living-inspired components. The team emphasized that the scent carries a deeper meaning about life and growth, aligning with the concept of a plant-based, living fashion statement. The green layer of the dress, composed of plant-derived, flexible elements, was described as still alive in its condition, with Paula Ulargui actively maintaining optimal environmental parameters to preserve the delicate balance between aesthetics and material integrity. The broader takeaway focuses on how such a design embodies experimentation, sustainability, and the evolving dialogue between fashion and environmental consciousness. As the wearer moves, the interplay between structure and organic material invites spectators to rethink traditional garment construction and the possibilities of future fabrics in high-profile appearances.
