Sybilla Opens Plaza del Gato Gallery in Madrid
Fashion designer Sybilla (born New York, 1963) has opened Plaza del Gato, a gallery at Calle Noviciado in Madrid, showcasing works by painter Jean Bouvier. The gallery, born from a chance discovery of Bouvier's paintings in a Parisian antiquarian bookshop, aims to share beauty and talent across disciplines. Sybilla, known for her independent spirit and sustainable fashion advocacy, founded Fabrics for Freedom in 2009. Her career includes a 2023 retrospective at Sala Canal de Madrid, collaborations with photographers Ouka Leele and Javier Vallhonrat, and iconic designs like the Vestido España. She has received the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts and the National Fashion Award. The gallery represents a new chapter for the designer, who remains driven by curiosity and a desire to connect.
