Fashion in Spain is reinventing itself with a generation of creatives who are banking on a new Spanish renaissance. The concepts behind the work of this group of designers come from a simple, free and inevitable idea.
In 2016, there are more than two things, quick and accessible, that Spanish fashion is known for. The seeds of creativity, an up-and-coming fashion culture, and the fight against stereotypes are gaining prominence. The motto of the new generation seems to be: every day, you should be what you want to be. Fashion is becoming a part of our personalities and is no longer limited to an individual’s sexuality. And even though we might think that Fashion in Spain is low to accept new influences, thanks to this group of creatives, a new culture is being born, without so many rules.
Imperfections are becoming unique details, and masculinity is being redefined. Impossible patterns, novel textures, and impossible settings that open to international influences, evidenced by the independent collections that are presented outside of the established Madrid Fashion Week.
From So Catchy! Where Fashion Begins, we’ve selected a few designers who, in our minds, are changing the face of Spanish Fashion. Long live the new generation.
Desde So Catchy! hemos seleccionado cinco diseñadores que, según nuestro criterio, están cambiando el panorama de la moda en España. Larga vida al talento novel.

These designers presented their collection at the chapel in the La Salle de San Rafael primary school. Stereotypes don’t go well with the ideology of their label.
