Sometimes the things that seem simplest take the most effort, and the Taumaturgo, our mask hoodie, underwent a very long development process before it became a reality.
Adaptable sistema
Play shapes our world, letting us engage with it in fun and dynamic ways. It is a powerful tool to redefine our surroundings and establish new levels of connection with them. Most of our garments incorporate a set of construction elements that enable you to play with their volumes and forms. We invite you to take your time exploring their possibilities, gradually building a bond with them as you do.
Just as every person speaks with many voices, most of our garments are, in fact, many garments—one for every scenario, look, and mood.
Silhouette and volume are two critical aspects in any fashion project. The two define the structure of clothes, creating a formal language that communicates the designer's vision and affects how they fit and move. Silhouette and volume determine whether a piece is going to be comfortable or not; practical or not; wearable or not. A distinctive silhouette is something powerful: it can make the same garment look like different things on different bodies, and it can become the signature of a brand or an era, a recognizable element that stands out in the visual landscape.
GOSPEL ESTUDIOS proposal is defined in the cuts and shapes of our clothes, but even within our collective, everyone has a body, aesthetic, and style of their own. In fact, a person can experience many moods in a day and may want to style a garment differently at different occasions. We believe it is important to be able to adapt our clothes to wear them as you wish. The exercise of figuring out how to make them your own paves the way for a deeper understanding of your wardrobe.

The ADAPTABLE SISTEMA is integrated into the majority of our product range. Most GOSPEL ESTUDIOS garments and accessories feature construction elements such as gathers, laces, drawstrings, cords, elastic bands, stoppers, and godets, that allow the wearer to experiment with the pieces, configure their volume and play with their silhouette.
The elements that provide this versatility are intentionally slow. We believe that certain practices anchored in tradition—the bow, the knot, the wrinkle, the gather—draw us away from the quick fix of instant solutions, and introduce rituals of interaction that require attention and time, making them interesting experiences in the midst of a culture obsessed with speed.
However, it’s not about slowing down just for the sake of it. This approach helps us forge a more mindful relationship with the things we wear.
The actions of tying, fastening, tightening, adjusting, wrinkling, and linking are important because they allow us to engage creatively with our clothes, making them our own, changing their appearance from one thay to the next, and expressing our different moods with them. Some days are like this, some days are like that. There are days when you feel like Julio Iglesias in Non-Stop and days when, well... days when you don’t.
There's a shared dimension to play. Making a garment your own doesn’t have to be a solo mission; it can be a shared space where you and someone close engage in the process hands-on.
The ADAPTABLE SISTEMA is important for us because we see clothes like we see plants: when you dedicate time and care to them, they look different, and you value them more—not just for their appearance, but for the proceso and tiempo that you’ve shared together. If we treated garments like we treat plants, we would have fewer and take better care of them. And, certainly, a healthier connection would bloom.
The scope of this idea clearly reaches beyond our product range. All garments have the potential for adaptability; we’ve always had—and still have—the opportunity to tailor our clothes to different contexts and ensure they express our personality. At GOSPEL ESTUDIOS, we like provoking it, emphasizing it, and highlighting its mechanisms, but if you embrace the concept, you can play around with all the garments in your wardrobe. You just gotta find the time to explore their boundaries.
