Words About Us

After graduating, you worked as a sculptor until 1992. How did your path shift towards fashion?

Miguel Munoz Wilson:The sculpture was my initial starting point as an artist. At that time, I asked myself how could I give my sculptures an utility, I mean, how could I made them useful. As opposed to a mere contemplative display of aesthetic and techniques. Hence, I found the answer in my fashion pieces,  designing shoes and accessories, free- standing objects in their own right. It wasn’t t deliberate, but I suppose I must have gravitated towards them for that reason. 

In 2003, you presented your first collection, incorporating sculptural techniques that are central to your identity, and in 2004, you founded your company. Could you share your brand concept?

Miguel Munoz Wilson:Our key word is make, as opposed to just design. A bridge between art and fashion, the form and the function. Materials are all natural sourced and ecologically sustainable. I can say Mv is essentially a couture collection of shoes and accessories. Each piece is hand crafted completely from scratch, from the design on the selected last, the pattern making, the treatments on vegetable leathers, the natural dyings, even the metals and woods are manually sculpted, and at last, but not least, everything is handled with love and sensibility in our own atelier studio in the beautiful Barcelona.                                                                                                           
On the year 2009, Sol Caramilloni, who is also my life partner, joins Mv design team. She came from the Visual Arts (Set design on feature films), so immediately we got along well, and gave to Mv a creative and design input. Our inspirational process as a creative couple, is found in our everyday work, in our laboratory - atelier where coincidences become surprises.                             

It’s been 20 years since your first collection in 2003. How has your creative process evolved over time? Have there been any shifts in how you approach production or craftsmanship?                                             

Sol Caramilloni: One could say, that we are designers as well as makers so we are constantly re-inventing and re-interpreting design and it s construction. By now we have more than 50 collections exhibited and sold in our Paris showroom, so we are trained to many different kinds of adjustments, season after season.Regarding our craftsmanship, It s a long spiritual process. Long hours of work mastering our craft. I think this is something you really have to love, in order to make it happen.                                                                          

Customers who have purchased your shoes often share interesting feedback. Many have noted that, despite being a European brand, the fit—especially the width and instep height—feels perfect for Japanese feet. Was this something you intentionally considered? Others have commented on how remarkably lightweight your heeled shoes are. Despite this, they maintain both structure and beauty, which feels unique to munoz vrandecic. Could you share any insights into your approach to construction and design?                                    

Sol Caramilloni:It s nice to hear this feedback, because we care a lot for these details. We always consider anthropology and sociology as well as design and construction, in order to make our designs well rounded. Its a very important part of the design process. As we work on seasonal collections, I think this is the reason why MV is pushed to constant creative innovation. Each collection is like a little poem.                     

Finally, could you share a message with your fans in Japan? 

Send you all a lot of Love,

Miguel and Sol.
