Antonio Martorell abre las gavetas del armario para revelar lo oculto mediante un conjunto de breves relatos y una sucesión de imágenes misteriosas: un sombrero, una falda, unos tirantes, un pantalón, un anillo. Las partes permiten imaginar el todo. En esa búsqueda iluminadora, el armario se va transformando en almario de la intimidad donde aparecen el tiempo perdido, las voces, los cuerpos, el placer sensual, los fantasmas. Los diferentes significados de vestir y desvestir se sostienen en la poética de un espacio recóndito. Como en un sueño, lo ausente se hace presente mediante imágenes y recuerdos. Andrew Hurley - el brillante colaborador y traductor de Martorell - señala con agudeza que esa poética evoca la fantasía de Alicia en el pais de las maravillas. ¿Qué se ve y qué se oye? Atravesando el espejo, se descubre el potencial de cada prenda. Viene también a la memoria el clásico soneto del poeta Garcilaso de la Vega, "¡Oh dulces prendas por mi mal halladas...". Pero en el puertorriqueño almario de Martorell las prendas no connotan desamparo y muerte. Al contrario. Al mostrarlas, iluminan el deseo de vivir, de testimoniar, modulando la voz propia y reinventándose una y otra vez.

With a series of brief stories and a succession of mysterious images, Antonio Martorell opens the closet (the armario, in Spanish) and the dresser drawers to reveal what's inside: a hat, a skirt, a pair of suspenders, a pair of pants, a ring. The parts allow us to imagine the whole. But this illuminating voyage a l'armoire also takes us inward, soulward, 'to a place where we find lost times, voices, and bodies as well as a hint of sensual pleasure and not a few ghosts. The different connotations, suggestions, meanings of "putting on" and "taking off," "dressing" and "undressing" become "embodied" in the poetics of a private, hidden, perhaps inner space. As in a dream, the absent becomes present in images and memories. Andrew Hurley - the brilliant collaborator and translator of Martorell - shrewdly points out that that poetics evoke the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland. What is seen and what is heard? Stepping through the looking-glass, the potential of each garment, each article of dress, is discovered. One also recalls the classic sonnet by Garcilaso de la Vega: "O sweet garments by me ill found!.." But in the Puerto Rican armario/almario (a closet for souls, one might say), the garments do not connote abandonment or death. On the contrary. When they "come out," they illuminate the desire to live, to bear witness, the voice modulating, the garments, and the artist, reinventing themselves over and over again.

Great quality and perfect fit
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Gray
Perfect prom suit! My son wore this to his senior prom and it fit him perfectly right out of the package. True to size, great quality, and looked very expensive for such a reasonable price. We were extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely buy again.

Impressive Quality for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Blue
Wow this suit exceeded my expectations! The sizing chart was accurate and the fit was great. The material felt soft, smooth, and surprisingly high quality it honestly felt much more expensive than the price we paid. I also liked the ample amount of pockets inside the blazer. Overall, a great value and perfect for a polished look without spending a lot. Highly recommend!

Very nice well made suit
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This is a very nice suit. Well made, from good material. I was so surprised based on the price I didn't expect such a great quality. It fits my son very well, he is very slim. Real value for money as it looks much more expensive that the price I paid for it.

Good quality
Size: Medium, Color: Champagne
I am shocked how nice the suit is for the price. I was expecting the pants to be slimmer, but they still fit my husband great. The only discrepancy is the suit is a darker tan than pictured.

We love the Lorenzo bruno brand!
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
Fit perfect!!! He looked so handsome! The material is great, durable ans will last awhile. It hung in the closet for a couple weeks before he wore it. The pockets on the jacket are fake. But the ones on the pants are real.
