The Marquise de Griñón has attended this Thursday to the anthill and has spoken at length about the controversy of the week: his abrupt job break with Sophie and there you go, the Basque firm that was making her wedding dress. Hurt by the criticism and insinuations that have been directed at her from the firm’s environment, she has stated emphatically: “I am not a difficult person, it is not difficult to work with me. I have been with firms like Sisley or Tous for years, I like to work as a team and give my opinions, but I’m not going to get married in a dress I don’t like”.
Tamara Falco, who has been branded as “capricious” and “arrogant”, is very hurt by everything that has happened: “Horrid things have been said that are in the hands of my lawyers.” And she has clarified that her business agreement with Sophie and there you gofor which he was going to charge 150,000 euros, was not limited to the bridal look: “I had an employment contract with the brand, I charged for a series of jobs, not only for the wedding dress, but my lawyers put a clause in the that made it clear that if I didn’t like the dress, I wasn’t going to wear it”.
Isabel Preysler’s daughter has recounted that the collaboration started well but went awry when she spoke of the Chanel dress that had inspired her: “I said here that I had been inspired and they didn’t like that word. They told me there shouldn’t have been said that and they got really nervous.” After that, everything took a turn: “They changed my dress in the second test, they put some volumes on me and some things that I didn’t like. When I went out and my mother and my sister saw me, there was total silence, and that’s very bad signal”. Tamara remembers: “Things got complicated, it was all very crude, very unpleasant and I was very sad. My lawyer told me ‘If you don’t like the dress, it’s over’. And the next thing I know, it’s the press release. We could have finished very well,” he said.

The marquise puts a good face on bad weather and laughs at her bad luck: “They say my wedding is jinxed, I don’t know… It’s true that we’ve had typhoid fever, sprains, now I don’t have a dress… But everything it’s worth it, it costs”, he said between laughs. “I don’t know anything about the new dress, I’m evaluating options. I want to thank all the designers here who have offered to make it for me in such a short time. The process of making a wedding dress is long and complicated but we will have to speed it up.”
