Biography

Vicky Martín Berrocal is the daughter of Victoria Martín Serrano and cattle entrepreneur José Luis Martín Berrocal. She was born in Huelva and grew up in Seville. Since she was a child, she trained in the best schools in Madrid and Switzerland and graduated in Marketing and Business Sciences.[2][3] She began working as an agent for bullfighters, where she met her husband Manuel Díaz González.[4][5]

She later entered the world of fashion, and found success collaborating with the designer Ángel Schlesser.[6] In this way, she began to be known internationally and to dress celebrities such as Uma Thurman, who wore her designs on the Campari calendar.[2] Her collections include festive costumes, flamenco dresses, bridal gowns, handbags, and costume jewelry. Notably, she was hired by Anna Allen to design a dress for her to wear at the 2014 Oscars, though it was later revealed that the actress had fabricated her appearance at the ceremony using altered photographs.[7] Martín Berrocal also had her own special edition of Nocilla glasses.[8]

In addition, Martín Berrocal has been linked to the world of television. From 2005 to 2008 she was a participant on the Cuatro magazine program Channel nº4. In 2006, she competed in the monologue contest El club de Flo, where she finished second. In 2007, she was a judge on Supermodelo. From 2008 to 2009 she was a contestant on TVE's Mira quién baila. In addition, she debuted as a presenter on the CMM TV program A tu vera from 2009 to 2013.[9] In 2016 she returned to television to compete in Levántate All Stars with pianist María Toledo.[10]

As an actress, she played the role of Laura in the series La familia Mata in 2007,[11] and in 2015 she had a cameo on the Cuatro series Gym Tony.
