Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada or the fun of interviewing one of the few people who speak without a filter

There is something almost subversive about interviewing Agatha Ruiz de la Prada: leaves you without oxygen. It’s like getting on a roller coaster without a seatbelt and, incidentally, with a coffee in your hand. Nothing is planned, everything is possible and, of course, no one is saved. In full promotion of his book All for a planÁgatha turns a simple call into a vital experience. “You catch me cleaning. It’s my yoga, the only one that counts. The other? The yoga of oh, I breathe in, I breathe out, I find myself… well, girl, do something useful. Clean a ceramic hob!“he tells the journalist Cristina Fernandez. There you already know that this is not about politically correct answers, nor meditative pauses. This is about Ágatha, pure and unfiltered.

As soon as he opens his book, he launches a theory to save marriages: always have people at home. But of course, it also recognizes that, in the long term, not even the most dedicated guests can save the unsalvageable. “At first it works, because with a guest you get embarrassed. You’re not going to yell at the other person in front of someone, right? But in the end, look, not even that. Now you can put in a string quartet that, if things are bad, there is no Beethoven to fix it“Agatha says it without drama, but with the certainty of someone who has already tried even the most extravagant tricks to avoid a breakup.

About your children, Tristan y Cosimadoesn’t mince words: “Being the son of famous people has felt like a challenge for them. They compare themselves and decide that it is best to do nothing, so as not to compete. This is a brutal mistake! Doing nothing is a terrible plan“Of course, for the heirs of a woman who has not stopped since 1981, idleness does not work as an excuse. It is as if Amancio Ortega’s son decided to say that he does not like linen.

Friends, however, are sacred. “When you’re doing well, you forget them, but when you’re doing poorly, they are there. Now I am getting a new apartment with two rooms to live with friends. They are wonderful! Although, yes, they don’t eat anything and they don’t know how to cook either. But hey, they’ll learn“. Ágatha is clear: in case of emotional shipwreck, there is nothing like surrounding yourself with women who don’t judge you… and don’t eat your refrigerator either.

Television: paying bills with glamor

She is not afraid to admit that she said yes to TV because, after her divorce, “you had to pay the goal and the girl“. If television programs were a piece of clothing, Ágatha would have classified them as “practical but horrible“Still, they worked: he survived, he paid what he owed and, in the process, he spread his energy on sets throughout Spain.

Here Ágatha enters controversial territory: “It bothers me that restaurants don’t give me leftovers for my dogs. Not even those from other tables! There should be an NGO that would collect that food, but of course, the State prefers that people starve to death.“. His tone, between rage and surrealism, is pure Agathic dynamism. That is, a mixture of genuine indignation with a spark of “someone do something now“.

On education, sentence: “There is very little. Before, children listened to adults even if it was to get bored, now that seems horrible to them. It’s all ‘TikTok, TikTok’. You talk to them about life and they answer you with a sticker”. Here, Ágatha shows herself as nostalgic for the times when children learned to listen even if they did not understand anything.

Ágatha openly admits that she doesn’t take care of herself as much as other celebrities: “Because I work more than them! If I start taking care of myself I lose a lot of time, and time is money.“So while some smear themselves in anti-aging creams, she prefers to smear herself in ideas. Everything is to continue being”the only known designer from Spain“.

From her current boyfriend, Jose Manuelhighlights: “He’s gorgeous. I’ve never had such a handsome boyfriend. and knows a lot“. But when the conversation turns to weddings, Ágatha hits the brakes with the forcefulness of someone who doesn’t want trouble: “Getting married is a horrible plan. If I break up tomorrow, at most I’ll return a pair of pants. But getting married already involves lawyers and hatred. No, no, better this way“.

Chatting with Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada is like reading her book: a whirlwind of anecdotes, truths like fists and reflections that go from absurd to profound in a matter of seconds. With her there are no poses, no time to pretend. Maybe that’s why, in a world where almost no one says what they think, chatting with Ágatha is a luxury from which you come out a little dazed, but much more alive.
