Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada once again steps onto the catwalk at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid with a collection where polka dots are the main protagonist.
The fashion show begins with the launch of a line of “agathized” motorcycle helmets, by NZI Helmets, in which she combines pop art with advanced protection technology. Along with the helmets, the creator also dares to design accessories for motorcyclists, made in collaboration with ByCity: jackets, jeans, raincoats, gloves, and even bags to carry the helmet with her emblematic prints.
Polka dots appear in cotton prints on the most commercial garments, and among the garments made in her own workshop, on plush or quilted imitation leather, in neon-colored neoprene, in poplin and corduroy. Likewise, there is no shortage of the brand’s iconic classics: the heart, the flower and the star, which play between multi colored stripes, geometric drawings and shades of graffiti. To finish their looks, the fashion brand has collaborated with Morena Corazón, a Mexican jewellery brand that has produced jewel headbands decorated with kisses and hearts.
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada’s creative philosophy is reflected in her continuous experimentation with patterns and patchwork, as well as in her curiosity for artisanal techniques such as hand-made fabrics by Honduran women and developed by Telares Lencas.
Finally, Marcelo Mellino, a regular at the designer’s presentations, has created a song for this fashion show that is a declaration of intent: “Don’t think anymore, this is over!”.
