Madrid, 22nd January 2013.-From 18th to 22nd February, Hall 14.1 at Feria de Madrid will host the staging of the most comprehensive showcase for Spanish creation and design with the fifty-seventh edition of MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK MADRID (MBFWM), an event organised by IFEMA.
Over a period of five days, the main purpose of this showcase is to promote the world of Spanish fashion in all its creative diversity, by presenting the latest ideas for Autumn/Winter 2013-14 in Hall 14.1 from 42 established designers and various up-and-coming designers of the moment.
These fashion creators will be complemented by some twenty young design talents who, as at each edition of the Week, will be presenting their collections in the EGO Showroom located at CIBELESPACIO (a stands area located alongside the two catwalks), featuring direct sale to members of the public.
On this occasion, the fashion shows will take place between Monday and Friday, without including the weekend, as has been customary in recent years. Irrespective of this fact, the schedule will present a similar structure to that of previous years. Thus, the fashion shows of Spain's established designers will take place between Monday and Thursday, with Friday being set aside entirely for the young designers from EGO.
