Fashion
María Ke Fisherman
María Lemús and Víctor Alonso make up one of fashion’s most ground-breaking duos. Turning knitwear into the sought-after fabric for trap rappers and modern artists is one of their successes. Another, the fact that their production comes from a cloistered convent.
Encinar
Madrid-born dressmaker has reached a hegemonic position in Spanish fashion thanks to volume, a key element in 20th century Spanish design that is present in all his clothes.
Duarte
The exactitude of classic tailoring brought forth to our time is the proposal that Duarte has used to strike a chord with new generations. Impeccable patterns that work with padded waistcoats or sandals. These are the codes of the renewed wardrobe icons we have seen during his show at MBFWMadrid.
High-Flying Design
Teresa Helbig is the designer behind the new Iberia uniforms. A collection that brings together craftsmanship, haute couture and avant-garde materials while looking back at the past, but with its sights set on the future, to rewrite tomorrow.
García Madrid
García Madrid arrived to break with orthodoxy and to create contemporary style solutions for men wanting to enjoy a traditional tailoring service with a modern focus.
Ernesto Naranjo
In a year and a half, the Sevillian designer has positioned himself as one of the most promising emerging creators in Spain. His motto? To design clothes that aren’t subject to trends, nor to the planned obsolescence of seasons.
Dominnico
Designer Domingo Rodríguez is on the lips of many a celebrity and influencer. His social-media-inspired, futuristic clothes have put him in the radar of artists such as Rosalia, Lady Gaga and Rita Ora.
Moisés Nieto
Unwilling to be a slave to the fashion system, creative and very pragmatic, Moisés Nieto, the once young promise of Spanish fashion, is growing up consistently while working on the full digitalization of his brand.
The 2nd Skin Co.
Taking the decision to launch internationally saved them from the recession. Today, their brand The 2nd Skin Co. is one of celebrities’ favourites around the world. This February, they’ll return to IFEMA to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid to conquer the runway with their unique feminine charm full of character.
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada
If there’s one designer capable of building the Spain brand, it’s Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Inventive, surprising, fun... and extremely hard-working, only she can agathise the world. She’ll prove it again soon at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, where she’ll be launching her new fashion collection.
