A new inconvenience has just slipped through Tamara Falcó's arduous path to the altar, adding to the long list of setbacks that the Marquise de Griñón has experienced since she first announced her engagement with Íñigo Onieva. This Tuesday the firm Sophie et Voilà issued a statement disassociating itself from Tamara's bridal look because the firm would have "refused to make certain demands of Mrs. Falcó for getting too close to designs foreign to our firm."
The protagonist spoke about these words a few minutes later in the magazine ¡Hola!, and has assured that she has found out about the break with the firm through the media. The marquise has denied that plagiarism is the reason for her breakup, "how am I going to ask them to do something like that if I am the first to dedicate myself to fashion. I have the utmost respect for designers."
Tamara has also explained that she transferred some "sources of inspiration", but clarifies that it was "without the intention of them copying the design". The marquise has shared with the publication that choosing the dress and trying it on had become "a conflict full of moments of tension" and that it had ceased to be that special moment that all brides want it to be.
Isabel Preysler's daughter also comments that, for her part, she was working to reach an understanding with the firm and never thought that this moment of definitive rupture would arrive. Even so, the bride-to-be thanked the designers for their good wishes: "I thank Sophie et Voilà for all their good wishes that they conveyed to me in their statement, but they have left me what is said to be made up and without a dress."
Saioa Goitia, the general director of Sophie et Voilà, and Sofía Arribas, the creative director, are the owners of this Bilbao-based fashion brand. Before this news, the creators had been delighted that the marquise had chosen her signature, but they have dynamited their relationship for reasons, according to Tamara, that would not have to do with plagiarism.
"We love Tamara because in addition to being a benchmark in fashion, she fits us as a modern woman with values that perfectly identify our brand," Saioa Goitia told ¡Hola! magazine. For her, making Tamara Falcó's dress is one of the most important challenges of her career so far, she stated then.
Falcó signed a contract with the firm Sophie et Voilà, as the brand has revealed in the statement. "Unfortunately, the agreement between Sophie et Voilà and Mrs. Falcó to make her wedding dress has had to be resolved as a result of Mrs. Falcó's breach of contract. We have deep respect for the artistic creation of other colleagues and Our business ethics prevent us from going beyond certain limits that would endanger the original authorship of the design.For this reason, and due to the respect that the originality of the work of other haute couture brands deserves, we cannot comply with certain demands of Mrs. Falcó , which from the beginning of the relationship we have discouraged and refused to carry out for getting too close to designs outside our firm," they say in the statement.
