Tamara Press expresses her distress with Omar Montes, stating, "My issue isn't about money, it's about the lack of acknowledgment."
Spanish Designer Tamara Press Speaks Out on Unacknowledged Collaborations
In a surprising turn of events, Spanish designer Tamara Press has found herself at the centre of a controversy over unacknowledged collaborations in the music and audiovisual industry.
It all began when singer Omar Montes, a participant at the Latin Grammy Awards held in Spain for the first time, publicly attributed the suit he wore at the event to a Chinese brand. However, the suit was an original creation of Tamara Press, loaned to Montes for the occasion without any payment.
The designer, who is known for collaborating with artists and loaning them clothing for events, has emphasised the importance of recognising the talent and effort of designers in the industry. Tamara Press believes that the true value of these collaborations lies in the respect and visibility of the authorship, not in the economic aspect.
In a similar instance, Tamara Press has loaned a jacket to an individual named Melody. However, the jacket is still in Melody's possession, and the designer believes that she is unaware that she has the loaned jacket. The controversy between Tamara Press and Omar Montes has put the value and respect for creative work at the centre of the discussion.
The situation is not an exception, according to Tamara Press, in terms of the treatment and disregard for the creator's credit. The designer has spoken to Melody's stylist about the loaned jacket and reached out to Omar Montes after his public statement, clarifying that the suit was not from the Chinese brand he mentioned.
Despite the controversy, Omar Montes has not spoken directly to Tamara Press since the incident. The search results do not contain any information about a Tamara Press-Omar Montes controversy, nor any details about a designer's experience or the recognition of creative work in the music industry related to those names.
It appears that there might be a mix-up or confusion in the query, possibly conflating different individuals or events. However, Tamara Press's stance on the importance of acknowledging and respecting creative work remains clear. The designer continues to work tirelessly to promote recognition for the talent and effort of designers in the music and audiovisual industry.
Tamara Press continues to advocate for acknowledging the contributions of designers in the fashion-and-beauty industry, including in the entertainment and music sectors, as seen in her unacknowledged collaboration with singer Omar Montes. The designer has also expressed concern about the loaned jacket from her collection that remains in the possession of Melody, highlighting the significance of respect and visibility for creative authorship.
