Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid will conclude with a special celebration of emerging designers on Sunday, February 18. The 23rd edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talent will feature nine new brands that will compete for the coveted award that recognizes talent and creativity in the fashion industry.
The participating brands are Coconuscankill, Dimoni, Juan VG, Oriol Clavell, Evade House, Anystudio, Adrià Egea, Visori Studio and Peter Sposito Studio. They will present their collections on the catwalk, displaying their unique and original vision of fashion. Their proposals will reflect the latest trends, such as genderless garments, upcycling, and the fusion of artisanal and classic styles with contemporary influences, such as grunge and urban genres.
The winner of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talent award will be announced at the end of the day. The jury will select the most innovative and promising designer, who will have the opportunity to showcase their collection on one of the international Mercedes-Benz catwalks, specifically in Mexico. The winner will follow the footsteps of other successful Spanish designers, such as Pepa Salazar, Ernesto Naranjo, Outsiders Division or Dominnico, who have represented Spanish fashion in cities such as Prague, Budapest or Tbilisi.
