The magazine Fuera de Serie from Expansión dedicated a report to Gorka González, highlighting him as one of the contemporary artisans who has revitalized the traditional craft of hat making in Spain.
In the interview, the designer reviews his career: from his studies in Graphic Design and his time in the telecommunications sector to his training in pattern making and textile manufacturing and his apprenticeship with the master Juan Carlos Alocén in Vitoria.
