Spanish designer Agatha de la Prada discusses her two new books

On April 25, La Fonda will host a special literary evening, with the Spanish designer Agatha de la Prada as the shining star. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to Agatha discuss her two new books.  The first, Mis Memorias uncovers her personal and professional journey, beginning with her earlier days in the fashion industry, and moving through her rise to become an iconic name in Spanish design.

Conversely, Todo por un plan is more of a philosophical publication filled with wit and intellect as she reveals her views on life, art, and aesthetics, as well as delving into her most personal reflections, bringing the audience ever closer to the lady behind the famous personal brand.

Evening with Agatha de la Prada perfect for lovers of literature and fashion

Set to take place at 7.30pm in Los Patios de La Fonda, this event promises to be intimate and informal, a perfect choice for those who are enamoured with literature and fashion.  Details of the guest speaker who will accompany Agatha de la Prada will be provided at a later date.

This literary evening is part of a commemorative programme that will take place between now and the end of June.
