Journalist - We are here with Andres Velencoso who, like everyone knows, is one of the most quoted models of Spain and the world. He gets a short time to talk with us because everyone wants to take a photo with him, talk to him. You already know how these things are! What brings you to 45th edition of Cibeles?


Andres -
Well, fashion show. I haven't been in Cibeles since a couple of years. This time it coincided with my schedule work and here I am.


J-
You're doing the show for whom?


A-
For Juanjo Oliva. It's the first time that he designs man's clothes and� I'm very happy.


J-
Where are you going next?


A-
I'm going to Japan and New York. This year I'm trying to stay more international because last year I've been many times here in Spain between one thing and another. I'm trying to continue there (N.Y) because that's the important, stay international, hoping that everything goes well, because at home you can always return.


J-
It's difficult for a man to have success in a world that appears that women are in better position, making more money?


A-
Very difficult. But we try it. We are here, no? Trying to give ideas to see if man's fashion gets up a little bit because it's a little down. With the designers we try it but in the male market it's more difficult.


J-
Since you're in fashion business, could you tell us in advance some fashion trends for men for the next autumn/winter?


A-
That's difficult because I've been in Milan but I couldn't see all the shows. But I think tomorrow will give us some trends.


J-
And you? Personally how do you like to get dressed? What's your style? How do you define yourself?


A-
Lots of comfortable clothes. Sometimes more elegant if you can, if you go to a party. But specially the comfort.


J -
Thank you very much.

Translation by Silvia - thank you hon!
