Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, the great event of fashion in Spain, presents its 75th edition at IFEMA – Feria de Madrid, from 9 to 13 March 2022, hosting important developments in the sector, with the purpose of strengthening its position as a leading platform for the Spanish fashion industry.
The program includes the presence of new creators and promising young designers presenting their collections as well as the parades of established designers.
The L’Oréal Paris Award for Best Designer Collection and the L’Oréal Paris Award for Best Model will also be presented. These awards recognize the work of each garment and each look as well as the talent of all the teams.
Madrid Fashion Week began in 1985 in a circus tent located in Plaza Colón, where six designers from Madrid presented their collections. Since then the catwalk has undergone major transformations, both in location and size.
The next edition was located at the Railway Museum in the old Delicias station. The designers were no longer only from Madrid, Juanjo Rocaforf, Jesús del Pozo, Elisa Bracci, Roberto Verino or Adolfo Dominguez also joined to present their collections.
In 1986, it moved to the fairgrounds of the Casa de Campo, further expanding its participants, the catwalk was very far away and is when it moves to the fairgrounds of the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions. In this edition designers such as Agatha Ruiz de la Prada stand out.
During these years big names in the design of our country, such as Victorio & Lucchino, Antonio Alvarado or Devota & Lomba are seen. In addition, Spanish tops such as Martina Klein or Nieves Alvarez began to parade.
In 1995 it moved to the Parque Ferial Juan Carlos I, and the next year it began to form part of the IFEMA organization, integrated in the Fashion Week.
