Spanish brand Paloma Wools became an Instagram sensation when she first posted first item released under the umbrella of her fashion-brand-cum-art-project,
Paloma Wool, was a sweatshirt. Numbered by hand, and part of a limited edition of 50, the sweater featured in a photograph Paloma had taken on her travels in New Zealand, of a bush with pink flowers, using her old Yashica.
She shot the sweater on a pretty friend and published the photo on Instagram. People began sharing it, then they started buying it. Just in a day, her website was flooded with visits from 69 different countries. “It taught me that content is so important,” the 28-year-old Spanish designer said,. “At the end, they were only sweatshirts, but the photos were so different to what other brands were doing that people connected to them.”
