Mother there is only one. And more than one day he deserves a monument for so much dedication and love. This first Sunday in May, well-known faces from Bizkaia wanted to have a gift with their parents in the form of words of affection, which is surely what they are most grateful for. To surprise or remind them, they share the life lesson their mothers have taught them and what they most admire regarding them. The value of effort, the ability to overcome, humility, joy, fleeing from perfection, the importance of being independent, self-love, naturalness… all this they have learned from the best teachers:
Tania Llasera, communicator and ‘instagramer’ without posturing

“My mother has taught me not to have expectations of others. And to be my best friend, give credit to myself. Also not to be perfect, because perfection is boring. She has always told me that she should do the best possible within my abilities, that she give her all and that she be satisfied with the path she has traveled ».
«As for style, we like to go comfortable and with colorinchis. I always feel pretty because I’m always comfortable. If I’m uncomfortable in a corset or a heel, I don’t feel pretty, because I can’t be myself.”
Adela Úcar, journalist and presenter

«I am lucky to have a mother who attaches great importance to expanding our consciousness. She herself has done a lot of work on herself along that path, which is not easy at all. Encouraged by her, I started meditation six years ago. It is difficult to define a single life lesson because there are so many, but without a doubt, one of the most important is that ‘there is always something else that I am not seeing’. What we see and perceive is only a part of what is there. This encourages me to want to expand my consciousness, to grow, to be willing to let go of my beliefs and to realize how many conditioning thoughts I have. I think that this leads me, little by little, to be freer and wiser».
«In terms of style, it has taught me the importance of finding a balance between elegance and comfort. We both value quality clothes, clean, well ironed, simple, elegant. And at the same time it is very important to be comfortable, not wanting to take off my dress, pants or shoes because they are too tight, itchy or make me feel disguised. If you are comfortable with what you wear, it is reflected in your attitude, and there is nothing more elegant than going through life relaxed and confident. The photograph is from a couple of summers ago in Ibiza. We go every year as a whole family. We always take the opportunity to put on cool and special dresses that we may not have the opportunity to wear in Bilbao due to the weather. I love clothes with a ‘hippy’, ‘boho’, ‘folk’ touch… My mother loves whites and warm colours. That day we both coincided in red ».
Ane Hernando, pharmacist, ‘influencer’ and co-founder of the firm Horia Bags
«My mistress has taught my sister and me from txikis to be self-sufficient and independent in every way, without depending on anyone, because this provides freedom. And to be humble above all, always treating everyone equally, whoever they are.

«As for style, to feel natural, without dressing up. And a mythical detail of mistress, which I also do, is that she rolls up the sleeves of her jackets ».
Javier Barroeta, designer
«The lessons I learned from my mother were several. First, the effort. She was a very hard worker. A true fighter. She lovingly cared for her eight children and the daughter my father had from a previous marriage. She worked for many years in a large house where she learned some exquisite manners that she instilled in her children. She taught us never to speak ill of anyone. What caught my attention the most was her honesty and personality. She didn’t care what they would say, she just wanted hers to be happy. I perfectly remember how she told me when she walked out the door: ‘You look gorgeous’. A real mother removes complexes. She only wanted my happiness above gossip. The respect that she showed for my love of fashion at a time when she was not in style helped me a lot to continue my efforts to become someone in that world ».
Javier Barroeta, with his mother, María Inchaurbe.
«In terms of style, my mother was beautiful, elegant and was 1.70. She was born on September 8, Nativity Day, in Zeanuri. Her elegance was innate. Everything suited her well and she knew how to wear her accessories, like necklaces, with a lot of style. She wore just enough makeup, a discreet touch on her lips. She didn’t need more. I made all of her outfits for her, from the one she wore to work in the garden to the patterned dresses with which she accompanied me to parades. I remember one in particular in bottle green voile with a Chanel-type coat with fur on the collar, which I made for a show at the Hotel Ritz in Barcelona. Since she was little, she used to tell him: ‘Mistress, I’m going to take you to Paris with a hat’. It might not be. She died when I was 35 years old. Thank you, mistress, I will never forget you!”
Estibaliz Prieto, ‘influencer’ from Bilbao
«My mother has taught me the most important lesson a mother can give you: that of overcoming. I have seen how she has had to overcome the death of my brother and how she has pushed forward with her family despite such deep pain ».
«In terms of style, we are very different. And not only because a generation separates us, but because we have opposite tastes. Of course, he has had a shoe store and he has taught me that you cannot wear any shoe, that it destroys your feet. He has always valued quality over quantity.”
Aitor Goikoetxea, designer
«My mother has instilled in me the value of effort, that nobody is going to give me anything and that if I want something I have to fight for it».
«As for style, it has taught me that you shouldn’t pretend to be someone you’re not, that you have to listen to that inner voice and be consistent with yourself. We have completely different styles, but we dress as we are.”
Aitana Ávila, former contestant of ‘MasterChef 7’
Aitana, during a trip to the mountains with her mother, Miren.
«From my mother I have learned to face life with joy and a positive attitude. I am not referring to smiling in a banal way, but to his ability to overcome problems in the best way, with a good attitude, without being overwhelmed, looking for solutions. She always draws strength from everywhere no matter what. Nothing makes you lazy. She is petite, but very active and restless. It charges you with energy just by being with her for a while. A super-alive person, with light.”
«In terms of style, it has taught me to be natural and true to myself. Even if he goes for bread or a wedding, he is always youthful, with a very fresh air and ‘hippy longui’. It’s always her, dressing and living. As is, with a pure essence ».
Eder Aurre, designer
«A phrase of my mother that I have engraved on fire is that we must not do to others what we would not like them to do to us. I think that sometimes it is not taken into account and that we should behave with people with the same respect and affection that we would like to receive.

«As for style, my mother has always defended that less is more, that simplicity is elegance. And over time, I’ve realized that she’s right. For this reason, I try to apply that maxim when designing and dealing with my clients. I know that not by wearing many things will they be more beautiful ».
Alicia Rueda, designer
«My mother, a discreet, energetic and tenacious woman, was an example of loyalty and strength, since she fought for many years to stay here. She was always a mirror in which to look at myself to improve and grow. She gave everything for others and she was the last. She taught me to be constant, patient and to help people. She was very proverbial and she always told us: ‘hands that you don’t give, what are you waiting for’. I know you are still there by my side. I still feel her close to her ».
Alicia Rueda’s mother when she was young.
«My mother was always of inner beauty and that was what she reflected. The style if you carry it inside, it does not matter what you carry on the outside ».
My mother
«My mother has taught me to be grateful, with others and with life. And to look at all people with the same eyes. She keeps insisting that she not seek approval from others. And she defends that there is nothing more pure than going through life with simplicity and authenticity. The other day, when I gave a talk with three fashion experts, he asked the microphone to ask them the following question: ‘You talk regarding sustainability and I find it very interesting, but have you come up with anything to stop them biting the labels?’ Everyone laughed, of course. My mother never ceases to amaze me. Funny and genuine as she alone.
My mother says that this photo I took of her the other day for her 61st birthday is titled: ‘This is how my mother tries to live life’.
«She has always been quite a bit more modern than me. In a ‘hippy’ and youthful style, you can wear what you want. The same she plants her sandals with socks than a good shoe. She has, yes, 18 million scarves and she still sends me messages to tell me that I should wear one too, that she has cooled down and I am going to get constipated ».
