Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid Award for Spanish Designer
Award winner: Juan Vidal
Awarded by: Madrid City Council
At every edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, there is a heartbeat that cannot be seen but can be felt: the pulse of an industry that celebrates talent with the same intensity with which it pushes its own boundaries.
The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid awards are not merely accolades; they are beacons that light the way for those who are redefining the language of Spanish fashion—from the figures who laid its foundations to the new voices now beginning to rewrite it.
The week kicks off in an atmosphere that blends contemporary elegance with creative energy: the Opening Dinner by NARS, an event that has become a ritual, a ceremony and a statement of intent. An evening that celebrates not only what is created, but also what inspires.
Following the completion of the show schedule, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid brings Saturday’s programme to a close with an awards ceremony designed to highlight the work of professionals in the industry. This event serves to recognise not only the technical skill of the designers, but also the identity and visual impact of their collections on the catwalk.
In this edition, EGO celebrates two decades as the epicentre of experimentation and aesthetic irreverence. Twenty years in which it has served as the cradle, driving force and springboard for the names that today define much of the Spanish fashion landscape. To mark its anniversary, EGO is launching an awards scheme that looks to the future, to taking risks, to the materials of tomorrow and to visual narratives that break with convention. These awards will be presented on the closing day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid.
