Birth Name:Manuel Roberto Mariño

Roberto Verino (born Manuel Roberto Mariño in 1945) is a Spanish fashion designer. He created the eponymous couture house Verino in 1982.

Biography

Manuel Roberto Mariño was born on 3 May 1945 in the Spanish town of Verín. He used the name of his birthplace (Verín) to create his artist name (Verino). He studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He returned to Spain to take the succession of his family's clothing business. In 1982, he launched his first women's ready-to-wear collection.[1] He sold his family business to El Corte Inglés and opened his first eponymous store in Madrid in 1992, launching his first perfume the same year.[2] He signed distribution deals with Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue.

In 1998, he cofounded the Asociación de Creadores de la Moda de España.[3] [4] In 1999, with the fashion designers Jesús del Pozo, Ángel Schlesser and Antonio Pernas, he started a boycott of the Pasarela Cibeles fashion competition (now Madrid Fashion Week) for "cronyism and lack of criteria". The designers decided to show their collections on their own, without the leverage of the Pasarela Cibeles.[5] He came back to Cibeles in 2002.[6]

His legacy work was exhibited at the Museo del Traje in 2007 and at the Gabarron Foundation in New York in 2008.[7] [8] In 2009, he designed the Getafe CF's night suits worn by the team on special events.[9] In 2010, he designed a Coca-Cola Light bottle to celebrate the brand's 25th anniversary.[10]

Roberto Verino is also a viticultist, owner of the domain Terra do Gargalo in the Monterrei (DO) since 1998.[11]

His company opened an office in Mexico in 2016, and started to expand throughout Latin America in 2019.[12] In 2021, he conceded the creative direction of his company to his daughter Cristina Mariño, and the executive management to Dora Casal, thus taking a step back from day-to-day operations.[13]

Style

In a 2002 collection, Verino used flower motifs borrowed from Georgia O'Keeffe.[14]
