Nuria González

Nuria González is an undisputed reference in swimwear made in the Canary Islands, and particularly within the Gran Canaria Moda Cálida label, of which she has been part since its beginnings in 1996. Recognized for her commitment to sustainability, artisanal quality, and the cultural identity of the archipelago, she has established herself as one of the most prominent figures in the sector in the region.

A self-taught designer, she has complemented her experience with numerous specialized courses, including corsetry and swimwear pattern making, industrial pattern making, and training with renowned professionals such as Roger Frank Desmond.

One of the key aspects of her work is her local inspiration: nature, flora, fauna, and coastal landscapes, which she transforms into prints for lycra and tulle. She also draws from painting, incorporating works by Canary Islands artists and monotypes created by her mother into her collections.

Each of her runway shows generates great anticipation thanks to her original approach to print design and her bold, innovative staging. Her collections have been presented at national and international fashion fairs such as Gran Canaria Swim Week by Moda Cálida, SIMM, Interfiliere, and the Berlin runway.

Her work has been featured in numerous national and international publications such as Vogue Spain, Glamour, ¡Hola!, Hello!, InStyle, and Woman Madame Figaro. In recognition of her work, she received the Best Sustainable Collection Award 2022 at the 16th edition of Gran Canaria Swim Week by Moda Cálida.

Regreso a Peyton Place

This collection takes its title and inspiration from Return to Peyton Place, the 1961 film. A resonant and whimsical title used to explore the aesthetic of the 1960s, not through nostalgia, but through the idea of revisiting it from a different perspective. Inspired by a decade in which fashion stopped being about propriety and became an attitude. Returning to a familiar place does not mean repeating it, but coming back with more freedom, more noise, and fewer rules. “Because returning is never literal.”

The collection plays with memory, transforming and seducing it, just as the youth of the 1960s did when they chose to stop following inherited rules and began writing their own.

Return to Peyton Place connects with the rebellious, experimental, and carefree spirit of the 1960s: a time of scandalous miniskirts, liberated bodies, electric colours, and a generation that turned dressing into an act of provocation.

The collection combines original vintage fabrics from the 1960s with contemporary materials, including printed lycras featuring the same motifs as the original silk and cotton fabrics, plain fabrics, metallic fibres, and recycled materials.

Vibrant colours dominate the palette, including ink blue, red, pine green, violet, and sunflower yellow. The collection also features a collaboration with Nanaya Crochet, specialising in crochet garments and accessories. From a design perspective, the collection revisits silhouettes and garment typologies characteristic of the 1960s, prioritising comfort, functionality, and freedom of movement.
