Reading time: 3 min.

MBFWMadrid will once again make its mark on Madrid, making the city the epicentre of Spanish fashion This event, organised by IFEMA, will, as in previous years, remain open to the city, combining fashion shows at IFEMA with other activities at different locations in the Spanish capital.

The Community of Madrid contributes by encouraging and supporting the promotion of design and the creation of fashion during MBFWMadrid. And once again, it is doing so by helping designers exhibit their creations. This edition, it will host shows by three young designers taking part in the general schedule of this event at the Real Casa de Correos in the Puerta del Sol, seat of Madrid's regional government. This time, three previous winners of the Who’s on Next-VOGUE Awards have been selected, Leandro Cano, the most recent winner, and Juan Vidal and Manemané, who won in 2013 and 2015, respectively, will present their Autumn-Winter 2018/19 collections at Puerta del Sol on the evening of 25 January.

What's more, as part of its Madrid Capital de Moda [Madrid, Capital of Fashion] (MCDM) programme, Madrid City Council is directly promoting and supporting a series of fashion-related activities at different venues in Madrid. With the sponsorship of Foro de Empresas por Madrid, the Council has installed a screen in Plaza Margaret Thatcher, at the corner with Paseo de la Castellana, where you will be able to watch live the 67th edition of MBFWMadrid, organised by IFEMA, which will take place at Feria de Madrid, as well as other fashion projects.

The MCDM programme also supports the event “The New Showcase for Fashion” organised by Facebook/Instagram in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which will be held at the Caja de Música in the Palacio de Cibeles on Wednesday 24 January.
