Some of the most important museums of the capital have joined our festival Madrid es Moda with the aim of making fashion visible as an artistic and creative form with thematic tours, guided tours and exclusive advantages.
On the one hand, the Museo del Traje will offer a guided tour of the exhibition "Pedro Rovira, from Haute Couture to Ready-To-Wear" from 24th to 30th of January.

Parallel to his dedication to couture, he created very complete collections to be produced in series by the industry, marketed both in Spain and abroad.
