María Rodríguez Liñán.

I designed and made your clothes. 

I graduated in Environmental Engineering in 2006 and completed my MA in Fashion Design in 2011 at IED Madrid. 

I am Co-founder and Creative Director at the ethical fashion brand Etrala London. I design each collection, search natural and high quality fabrics from the best British suppliers, create some patterns and samples, and produce some of the final designs myself. I have been based in London until 2015 when I moved back to Madrid and set up my new fashion studio and showroom.
