Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada salutes Milei’s extremism and confesses her admiration for Elon Musk

Recently arrived from a trip to Nepal with Jesús Calleja, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada proves once again that his life is a constant succession of unusual and surprising plans. From funeral ceremonies in Kathmandu to meetings with controversial leaders such as Javier Milei, His story is always loaded with fascinating anecdotes. This Saturday she occupies a page in a newspaper but in the social chronicle section, not in the Culture section, even though she is an award-winning designer and present books.

Nepal was his last adventure, a destination that, according to what he tells Pilar Vidal in Abc, It left him deep learnings. In Kathmandu, Ágatha witnessed a traditional cremation ceremony, where bodies are washed, cremated and their remains thrown into the river. “It is shocking how people jump into the water to search for jewelry or gold teeth among the ashes, all surrounded by monkeys, bulls and abandoned dogs,” he says enthusiastically. This experience, like so many others, reaffirms his interest in foreign cultures and traditions, although always with an eccentric touch. From Nepal, her agenda took her to Mexico and New York, where she presented her latest collection, consolidating her international success. “Latin America adores me. I think reading Hello! there has given me a lot of projection, and seeing in person someone they recognize from the magazine fascinates them,” he explains with his usual mix of humor and confidence.

In Madrid, Ágatha is preparing the launch of two books. One of them, a photobook made with the photographer Javier Salas, covers his personal and professional career. The second, Everything for a Plan, is a continuation of his autobiography, in which he reflects on how plans have given meaning to his life: “There are people who like jewelry or the gym, but mine are plans.” “Even bad plans have their charm, although not all of them this year, for example, Renfe has given me terrible times with its delays.” Pedro J. Ramírez’s ex assures that plans are the best antidepressant, a passion that she has instilled in her children Tristán and Cósima. Especially her daughter, who, according to her, already surpasses her in quantity and quality of adventures.

Javier Milei and Elon Musk: admiration and connection

In her continuous coming and going, Ágatha recently met Javier Milei, the new president of Argentina. The designer does not spare her praise for the political leader: “He is gifted and very funny. He surprised me a lot because, in addition to being brilliant, he is a charming person.” Since that meeting, they have maintained frequent contact, although now, according to Milei, he seems more busy with his recent friendship with Elon Musk. Regarding Musk, Ágatha also shows great enthusiasm. “I’m very into Tesla and electric cars. I can’t wait for Milei to introduce him to me; “I’m sure we’ll get along well,” she says. This bond not only underlines her interest in influential personalities, but also her ability to insert herself into circles of power and controversy. The former El Chatarrero also faces more mundane challenges. Currently, her house in Madrid is undergoing renovations, which forces her to spend this Christmas at friends’ houses. “I have no electricity, no sofas, no sinks.

I’m doing laundry at a friend’s house. It’s exasperating,” he confesses in the Vocento newspaper. However, this does not take away his enthusiasm for the future. Among his plans for 2025 are the inauguration of his new store-studio in Madrid, international exhibitions and more trips to Latin America. A Despite her optimistic nature, Ágatha is no stranger to criticism. She recently read the book I want and I can’t, where she is mentioned several times in a tone that she describes as full of. rage. “I don’t understand that hate. “If anyone thinks I’m a posh, let God come and see,” she says, laughing.

Regarding her perception of herself, Ágatha makes it clear that she lives by her own rules: surrounded by color, projects and emblematic figures that inspire and amplify her irreverent spirit. Between ceremonies in Nepal, fashion shows in New York and her friendship with such controversial figures as Milei and Musk, the designer continues writing her peculiar story, as full of extravagance as it is of success.
