20:14:00
Madrid fashion week autumn-winter 2017-2018 has been a week of transition and innovation, it has been the first week of Charo Izquierdo as the director of Madrid Fashion Week. Her plan is to bring the event to the international spotlight and to be able to launch businesses from here. It's been a long week with some new designers but also other known names missing.
Madrid fashion week has showcased some international names like Custo Barcelona and Palomo Spain. Here is a recap of the best shows of the week.
Juan Vidal
The Juan Vidal show was an amazing showcase of bohemian style delicate dresses, lots of dark tones and extremely elaborate pieces with astonishing detail and hundreds of beautiful layers. The theme mostly revolved around a woman who is comfortable with her body, confident, feminine and with a dark side.
The jewelry in the show included some large extravagant pieces that perfectly showcased the melancholic vibe of the catwalk and the beginning of XX century style.
The show had a really relaxed theme with lots of pieces being flowy pyjama styles with thin, fragile textures.
Feathers, sumptuous fabrics. The result is a western aesthetic. A part of the collection that stands out are the gowns with their sensual charge fabricated with golden threads and layers enriched with flowers and feathers.
And it is this western, sumptuous, bohemian air that is the soul of a collection gifted with a oneiric aura which enchants you with the very first piece.
Custo Barcelona
"This is a new start" said Custo Dalmau, "I have been to Paris recently and had the sensation that everybody dresses very similar, we want to offer another option",
Custo's Light Years collection was and ode to individuality. The brands characteristic colour and brightness is still there, but in this occasion, the reds and blues contrast with the gold and silver.
Despite all the women's clothes, there was still space for menswear where the velvet jackets made the pieces with a metallic finish stand out, jackets, trench coats, blazers, and oversize coats.
Maria Ke Fisherman
This collection made us all travel to the late 90s and early 2000s, goose down jackets, tracksuits and platform boots. Maria Ke Fisherman brought back the trends from the beginning of the XXI century that we thought we had left behind.
Deconstructed night gowns created with technical fabrics, punk boots and casual Spanish flags from time to time.
The designers María Lemus and Víctor Alonso transformed the aesthetic into something darker and more baroque, the makeup represented a genderless aesthetic, without a characteristic difference between humans, an almost digital humanity.
Maria Ke Fisherman has collaborated with the Japanese brand Bridgestone, a "natural process" as both brands have a high Japanese influence.
The collection got a standing ovation from the front row and that is because this was a collection that brought the edgiest street trends to the Spanish capital.
