Madrid Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012

Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week finished last week showing the spring/summer collection 2012 of the best Spanish designers. This year I went to see Ana Locking show but I have seen all the other shows in vogue.es

I have done a selection of my favourites Spanish designers for next season. Enjoy it :)

1. Ana Locking.

This season I went to Ana Locking catwalk as a photographer for Doll’s Factory, where you can see the article of Madrid Fashion Week that I have contributed in.
The most I liked about her designs where the exposed or transparent backs and the mix of fabrics such as satin, tulle and silk. I also like the colours like that beautiful blue and some of the prints she has used.

2. Angel Schelesser.

Angel Schlesser women: urban, sophisticated and looking for a functional elegance. The pastel orange and camel palette combine with aggressive black outfits and white finished aluminium. I like the total white looks and the mineral prints. The key piece of summer are the dungarees, one-shoulder, light and oversize patters.

3. Hannibal Laguna.

Hannibal Laguna collections are designed exclusively for red carpet ceremonies and other events at night. However, I felt in love how he soften the silhouette in some of his designs using light fabrics such as silk and muslin (some of my favourite fabrics). Love the dress falls and the layers with long flight. Even more, he combines the colours palette with passional ones like burgundy reds, and nude and arenas for the lightest. Because of that, he becomes one of my Spanish favourites of next season.

4. Juanjo Oliva.

Juanjo Oliva recreated the retro, classic and timeless drama representing the divas of Hollywood black and white. I like the simplicity, classicism and sobriety of his designs, but what I most admire is the absolutely sensuality the dresses express, love the nudity of the back and the designs exploiting the full feminine curves. What is more I am a fan of coral colour, which he used in his palette. Designs are similar to Yves Saint Laurent.

5. Kina Fernández.

Kina Fernández has became one of my favourite Spanish designers. Her spring-summer 2012 collection for Madrid Fashion Week is focused in the use of colour and draping. I like the combination of coral, turquoise and vanilla colour. I also like that her designs express romanticisms, but also powerful and lot of personality. You can probably has noticed that I like more soften fabrics that structural ones, I like that of Kina Fernandez, the use of drapes creating fluids and light tissues; and the dresses with lots of movement.

6. Roberto Verino.

Roberto Verino inspiration for spring 2012 collection has led to a public street fleeing adventures that go nowhere. The designs are with tropical and exotic dyes illustrated with natural supplements. The collection aims to reconcile with the nature of fashion and dress deluxe version. I liked the colour palette used, lot of browns, chocolate, beige, sands and numerous shades that seems to emerge form a warm sunset in the desert.

7. Sita Murt.

The designer Sita Murt has been influenced by minimalism but sporty and urban style at the same time for Cibeles spring/summer 2012 collection. I like the purity of her clean simple patterns and the relaxed but sophisticated designs.

The colour palette was been sober and has ranged between white and lead grey with some touches of sand and smoked blue. The fabrics have perfectly combined, of course, point, linen, cotton and satins.

8. TCN.

I loved the new collection of TCN. It represents a casual and relaxed fashion with very well selection of materials and impeccable style. I liked the mixture of colours such as aqua, coral, smoked blue, mustard ... and textures, from a depth to the silk, a sort of collage made of pieces that seem to fit naturally. I also like that nerd inspiration but at the same time romantic and cosmopolitan, given by garments with bohemian style. It was a large heterogeneous collection well coordinated.

9. Victorio & Lucchino.

Victorio & Lucchino Cibeles has presented its new collection for spring-summer 2012, a proposal whose main theme is in juxtaposing dusty-coloured clothing like cream, stone, nude and pink stick; with fluoride elements such a belt and contours in which the energy yellow and fuchsia are surprising in their strength and roundness.
I admire the way they have managed to screw the fabric resulting floral rosettes that appear in the garments to shape the shoulders and waist. I liked a bolero and vest, both built of casings in a similar way to Givenchy.
