Ricos y famosos: Agatha Ruiz de la Prada

Some famous people are famous for being famous.  Other famous people are famous because they deserve to be.  Agatha Ruiz de la Prada falls into the latter category.  She makes beautiful things in joyful and cheery colours.  If you're interested in finding out more, here is her website - in Spanish here and in English here.

Today, we're going to look at a text about Agatha and a prize she won in 2009.

First the comprehension questions:
  1. What was celebrated and when?
  2. Who won?
  3. Why?
  4. Who else - amongst others - was in the running to win?
  5. Who awarded the prize?
  6. Where?
  7. What is Agatha's abiding achievement in relation to Spanish fashion?
Now the text (the original post can be found here).   Unfortunately, this text is in image format, so Google Translate can't carry out a translation.  Time to fly the nest and wing it then?  After more than thirty texts, you know you can do it!

:-)

See you tomorrow.
