Leandro Cano showcases in Paris his artistic collection
The Embassy of Spain in Paris was the background for the presentation of LEANDRO CANO’S artistic collection. Held within the framework of Haute Couture Week in Paris, the creator from Jaén presented 10 looks, one for each year of his career, taking an introspective journey that immerses us in a medieval world where different ones are excluded.
With this presentation, the designer wanted to pay tribute to craftsmanship through a celebration of creativity and know-how in a range of artisanal trades. Gold embroidery, wool embroidery, fabrics made by hand on looms, crochet, mohair crochet, hand-embossed leather or ceramics featured in Leandro Cano's 'Dance of the Excluded', a fashion proposal full of symbolism that has become his most personal collection.
The fashion show confirms Leandro Cano's intention to present an artistic collection per year, which he later completes with his prêt-à-porter proposals. Each of the 10 creations in this collection alludes to an iconic look from Leandro Cano's career: from his final year project to the look worn by Lady Gaga. Cotton twill, quilted or jacquard fabrics are mixed with detailed worked leathers, ceramics and chains in a proposal in which nothing is casual, and everything has a deep meaning.

Juana Martín premiers at Haute Couture in Paris
The designer from Cordova, JUANA MARTÍN premiered in the official calendar of Paris Haute Couture with a collection inspired by her homeland and her culture. Once again the fashion designer invited her friend, and well-known actress, Rossy de Palma to participate in a spectacular fashion show enlivened by the voice of flamenco “cantaor” Israel Fernández accompanied by Diego del Morao on Spanish guitar.
"Andalucía" is a fashion proposal loyal to her flamenco and her avant-garde style. Juana Martín has relied, in this collection, on the collaboration of different artisans and artists such as Vivas Carrión for the millinery, and goldsmith Plata Pura highlighting the famed Cordovan know-how regarding jewel crafts.
The collection, in which black and white predominates, is made of enriched fabrics such as wool and natural silk. Tulle and organza provide volume to creations that are filled with embroideries and details confirming Juana Martín as a leading, international reference in Spanish couture, being the first Spanish woman to showcase her fashion in the official Haute Couture calendar thanks to the invitation of the Fédération Française de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM).
