There is so much more to fashion than what comes down the
runways in London, Paris, and Milan, and if you need further proof, take a look at the talent exhibited by designers who showed collections at
Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week. A quick look through a couple of collections left me with the impression that the focus was on expression rather than the creation of a future trend, and collections are much more imaginative as a result-- I'm guessing not having Anna, Carine, and company perched in the front row has something to do with that, and it's immensely refreshing. From lingerie-inspired looks at
Alberto Tous to the explosion of color that is the
Agatha Ruiz De La Prada show, I was definitely impressed. Take a look at my slideshow to see the Spanish designers you'll want to keep an eye on come Spring!
