Remedies are no longer used. What we seek now are solutions, urgent measures, but not remedies. Remedies sound like another era: old, slow. From the very beginning of her new album, Le Parody reclaims that denser time. In the face of emergency: Remedios
I assumed the creative direction and styling for Remedios from a perspective that seeks to merge the artisanal with the ritual. My process begins with creating images that are not mere graphic accompaniments, but spaces where matter, body, and symbol intertwine to build an autonomous visual narrative.
The three covers trace a single myth in three acts: first, the appearance of a dark, almost oracular face (Virtudes); then, the irruption of threat, the blade and the sting (Se Clavan); finally, the passage into the collective, where that same face is carried, embraced, and processionally borne (Remedios). They are not isolated scenes, but a continuum: from silence to wound, from wound to communion.
The images are not just covers; they are scenes of a personal myth that expands with the music —a rite of shared vulnerability, of faith and redemption.
For the Remedios music videos we conceived an aesthetic line that crossed the sacred and the rural, the visionary and the earthly. In the el Cardenal atelier we developed garments made specifically for her —sculptures of leather, oxidized fabrics, surfaces that looked torn from a landscape— which were combined with archive pieces, transformations, and collaborations with other brands such as BUJ Studio and Cherry Massia. The result is a fragmented yet coherent wardrobe: bodies dressed in shining metal like solar mirages, dresses dragging roots and sediments, trousers glowing against tractors like futuristic totems, ceremonial tunics raising branches and swords, laces consumed by fire and gauzes breathing in the wind. Each styling was conceived as a ritual: a way of embodying in the body the tension between earth and sky, destruction and rebirth, with the same poetic violence that permeates Le Parody’s music.
The tour wardrobe for Remedios is articulated in three unique pieces born from reclaimed fabrics subjected to new mutations. They are fragments of the past sewn with the urgency of the present, like remnants insisting on transforming into a living body. Each garment carries the trace of an ancient excess and turns it into a symbol, claiming that it is no longer necessary to produce more in order to invoke beauty. Within them coexist textile scars, veiled colors, and tightened wrinkles, as if the memory of the material rebelled against oblivion.
