Between 12 and 16 September, MBFW presented spring/summer 2025 collections. Get inspired by these proposals for next wedding season’s looks.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week brought together designers, fashion lovers and the media to reveal the trends for the next collection, with an event that included around 50 shows, a workstation for up-and-coming talents and a series of meetings throughout the city. Among the invited designers, several brought bridal inspiration to the catwalk, with pieces that stood out for their refinement and elegance.
The 80th edition of MBFW was marked by Isabel Sanchis’s collection, which stood out for the presentation of proposals that, breaking the supremacy of black and white, proved to be the ideal harmony between colour and elegance, giving a touch of romance and power to the trends of the next collection. Flowers, presented as a ‘brand image’ of the designer, appeared on the catwalk in a more subtle way, baked into some of the pieces and/or combined with a predominance of gold accessories.
Yolancris brought her essence to the catwalk with a collection full of femininity that doesn’t follow trends, but rather the instinct. Her looks feature a variety of handmade pieces that defy traditional industry norms. Inspired by the bohemian lifestyle of 19th century artists, the designer presented her pieces as a reflection of the artistic expression of the time, marked by sensuality and a sense of freedom. This collection also revealed the brand’s commitment to different styles, fabrics and silhouettes.
Irreverence stepped onto to the catwalk at MBFW with Álvaro Calafat’s collection, which stood out for its bold pieces that convey a sense of mystery and curiosity, combined with the designer’s notorious creativity that included 3D printed volumes and constructions. Sustainability is a highlight of this collection, where fabrics and materials such as silk, cotton, leather and tencel predominate, as well as applications and embroideries inspired by surrealism.
The enhancement of the female silhouette through delicate lace, strategic transparencies and tight corsets was the line adopted by Claro Couture for the spring/summer 2025 collection. Chiffon, silk, embroidery and beads gave a sense of movement and depth to the models on show at MBFW. With a varied colour palette of black, white, green and purple, the brand walked the catwalk leaving elegance as a characteristic feature of this collection.
De la Cierva & Nicolás was the author of an irreverent collection that exudes the various emotions that can be behind a tear. Composed of faux tweed, organza embroidered with fibreglass filaments and pearlescent finishes, this collection conveys the euphoria of happiness, the melancholy of sadness and the fury of anger through the different silhouettes, tones and techniques present, without neglecting elegance.
Taking nature as her starting point, Dolores Cortés presented her swimwear collection made up of a combination of pastel colours and handmade details, which created a surreal and sophisticated atmosphere in the look, ideal, for example, to take in your honeymoon suitcase.
Lola Casademunt presented her spring/summer collection inspired by traditional Japanese culture and using geishas as the project’s main character. Femininity and delicacy combined with floral details, glitter, fluid shapes and vibrant colours are the highlights of this collection made up of fluid and delicate fabrics, which contrast with more structured and casual materials. The combination of accessories with the dancers typical sandals and the sashes and belts made in the colours of the collection reflect a contemporary, fresh and sophisticated proposal.
‘Lei Zu’, the collection presented by Fely Campo, is a portrait of the designer’s journey from Europe to China. From the masterful use of tweed to the lighter patterns with handmade Chinese silks, this aesthetic journey is an ode to wealth, which reaches its maximum expression thanks to the silhouettes and careful cuts. This collection also stands out for its more sensual pieces such as shirt dresses and lace maxi kaftans.
Hannibal Laguna’s new collection was a proposal inspired by the spring equinox, where light and colour are the protagonists of a project inspired by the universe of flowers and the rebirth of the sun. The designer’s presentation sculpts the waist as the axis of the silhouette, accentuating the hips and exposing the shoulders, which allows it to be characterised as sophisticated, feminine and with a certain touch of glamour.
Michael Costello presented at MBFW a series of proposals centred on a colour palette where black, purple and gold predominate. Combined with striking accessories such as eye-catching earrings, the designer’s collection emphasises female empowerment with a series of bold models that enhance feminine beauty and elegance.
In terms of suits, Félix Ramiro presented a collection on the MBFW catwalk inspired by water and swimmers through an explosion of fantasy, colour, innovation, asymmetrical cuts and large pockets. With a variety of hand-made finishes, the brand displayed a set of iconic patterns characteristic of current and renewed tailoring, which exudes modernity and elegance.
The 80th edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week mirrored the combination of creativity and elegance in around five dozen shows, presented by various designers, which allowed a wide range of tastes and preferences to be reached, thus serving as inspiration for an articulation between the traditional and the contemporary in the bridal sector.
