Josemola's La Tragaperras tour for the last time in its first season, and it does so from Argentina to play with fashion superstar Santiago Artemis.

A designer who has broken molds and patterns, and also the concept of 'gender' in his collections. Santiago Artemis has a published book, The Boy from the End of the World: Everything I Did to Be Me, his own series on Netflix and he has even dressed artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears or Lady Gaga.

In his interview, he assures that he loves Spain and that he is looking forward to going back to go out for tapas in Chueca with José Perea, Josemola and all his friends from Shangay.

LA SLOT ⇒ Why are clothes genderless?SANTIAGO ARTEMIS ⇒ Because, really, we give them value. Obviously there are rules and regulations: wearing heels or a skirt is considered a woman, for example, but we have to deconstruct all of that, and we are doing it. When I started wearing women's clothing – always considering myself a man – I did not do it with any political intention. I just wanted to be me, and I knew it was going to have consequences… But it ended up being a hit.

THE SLOT ⇒ Society is binary. Do you have to fight against that gender binary with your own clients when they sometimes come to ask you for clothes?SANTIAGO ARTEMIS ⇒ Yes, many times, although now it is the male clients themselves who ask me for clothes feminine. I particularly like to mix genres, and I have never done it with the intention of being violent. Just I like it.

LA SLOT ⇒ How do non-binary people fit into your clothes?SANTIAGO ARTEMIS ⇒ Now I am more empowered than ever. In fact, I am with a model with which I will make the first official genderless production of my brand. It always was, but this time I do it with more intention. It's time to represent my entire community.
