The Impressive Pertegaz and his Glamorous Career in Fashion

The talented Manuel Pertegaz is considered to be a fashion guru respected the world over. For years, he has created and designed countless pieces of couture that captured the quintessence of Spanish fashion and innovative trend. Born in Teruel and raised in Barcelona, this full-blooded Spanish guru made his way into the glamorous world of fashion with undeniable talent, hard work, perseverance, and a whole lot of heart. Without his creative influences and inimitable trends, clothes in Spain would've been nothing out of the ordinary.

Pertegaz started out in the business as a mere shop staff member back in Carmen Street, where his fondness for fashion only grew. He joined the tailors of the Angulo group and there he picked up on his true calling -- coming up with women's apparel. In 1942, he created his very first haute couture line by opening a dressmaking house along the prestigious Diagonal Avenue. Before anybody could stop him, he opened other Pertegaz outlets in Madrid, Paris, and then later on in New York, Atlanta, Boston, and Philadelphia, where he was constantly praised for his masterful designs. It was only a decade ago when he created his first men's apparel collection -- a new line he's incorporated into his design portfolio ever since.
