Highlights from the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid

The Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was held in Madrid from February 1st to February 5th. It showcased the Pret-A-Porter (Ready To Wear) fashion created by Spanish designers for Fall/Winter 2012/2013.

Five days full of amazing fashion and backstage craziness. Even though I was not able to attend, I did my research on it, seeing every single collection and a variety of backstage videos that offered interesting material.

I'd love to show you everything but since that would be way too long, I'm going to show you what I liked the most from my favorite designers and collections.

Jesús del Pozo: this was the designer's first collection after his passing last year. I loved his work so much and the firm is still true to what it was before, so I really liked it.


María Escoté: I loved the neon colors and I though most of the garments were actually really cute, and I'd wear them (if I had the money to buy them). That's really important because it IS ready to wear. It is overall a really cute and fun collection. 


Roberto Verino: this collection was very daring even though it was all neutral colors. The way the garments are constructed is really complex and it gave it an edge.


Juana Martin: I don't follow her work but this collection caught my eye. It is elegant but in a fun way. I like how she used a bright pink and made it sophisticated. 


Devota & Lomba: I liked the use of jackets since it is a fall/winter collection. Sometimes jackets can ruin an outfit (or at least that's what I think) but this collection is an example of how a jacket can be the key to fabulous.


AA by Amaya Arzuaga: all I can say is: I don't know why, but it works.


Miguel Palacio: his collection has both classic and modern elements. I think it is a very beautiful collection and I would also wear most of the clothes from it (again, if I had the money). It is one of my favorites.



What do you think about these?
Did you know any of these Spanish designers?

RIP, Jesús del Pozo

Spanish fashion designer Jesús del Pozo passed away yesterday (August 13th, 2011).
I'm very sad about this because I admire that man and I've been in love with his work since I started to be interested in the fashion industry.
I don't know how many of you even knew of his existence, but it's a pretty sad thing.
He made beautiful womenswear and bridal dresses. Actually, I've always thought that I was gonna wear one of his dresses (or Rosa Clara's) at my wedding.

Isn't it beautiful? 

There are a few reasons why I love his work so much. He makes everything look easy and he creates very feminine shapes using plain colors. He made complicated pieces look simple and unique at the same time.

Aren't you in love?

Simple, yet sophisticated; that's why I love it so much.

With all that said,

REST IN PEACE.
