Inés Aguilar is the designer and creator behind the brand La Casita de Wendy, founded over 17 years ago. She’s developed collections to sell internationally in prestigious stores such as Anthropologie in the EEUU, Cocktail in Hong-Kong, and Lamp in Tokyo.
At La Casita de Wendy, Inés and her team create garments with simple shapes, allowing the graphic designs or patterns printed on the fabric and the selection of colors and materials to be the real protagonists. Through viewing its garments as a unique medium of communication, the brand strives to tell stories with its designs.
Inés combines her role as creative director of the brand with teaching. She has taught in Madrid at the Universidad Europea, the Higher Technical School of Architecture, and the IED design school, where she currently directs the master's degree in textile and surface design.

PlusThe course is very interesting and the teacher is professional and passionate. I usually take notes while watching the videos and I had to stop them often to write what interested me because, in every sentence, I found useful and not obvious information.
