Twice a year, IFEMA MADRID’s Pavilion 14.1 (and other venues around the city) are turned into a giant catwalk showcasing the most coveted creations by leading fashion designers and visionaries from around the world, both established and new. The first MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK MADRID of the year will be taking place from 19 to 23 February 2025, an unmissable event for signature fashion in Spain that offers the biggest showcase of Spain’s fashion industry. 2025 marks 40 years of Madrid’s fashion week, highlighting the exquisite quality of signature fashion design.
Mercedes-Benz FASHION WEEK MADRID (MBFWM), the biggest fashion event in Spain, celebrates its 81st edition in February 2025 , showcasing important innovations in the sector, with the aim of consolidating its position as a leading platform for the Spanish fashion industry and one of the biggest events in the world.
MBFWM is the perfect platform for designers looking to raise their brand profile and link them to fashion and new trends. The programme features designs by new up-and-coming creators presenting their collections, as well as shows by established designers.
As usual, MBFW Madrid has an interesting OFF Programme for each day of the event, featuring prestigious Spanish designers. As in past editions, the last day will be dedicated to emerging designers from Samsung EGO, showing all the latest developments in the renewal of Spanish fashion. The L’Oréal Paris Prize for Best Collection by a Designer and the L’Oréal Paris Prize for Best Model will also be presented. These awards recognise the work involved in making each garment and each look as well as the talent of all the team members.
