To win, to participate, or both? This MADRID ES MODA initiative runs its third edition, and already generates expectation (and expectancy) among participants, whether they are schools and students, designers, brands and window dressing professionals, or strategic enclaves that open their doors to join the challenge. From designers boutiques, the author's shops of Las Letras Street, hotels, restaurants, even decoration stores, the level of the works is high and all aspire to win the prizes of the contest: €1,000 and €500 for the professional and novel categories, respectively, plus a mannequin by MARCELO VILÁ. An initiative that gives value to the fashion exhibition space par excellence, and for which once again we have had the collaboration of IKEA and the City of Madrid.
Students of the main fashion schools of Madrid (ESNE, ESME, IED Madrid, CSDMM and Nebrija University) will be the protagonists of the novel category of this contest, which will fill the city with creativity and design awaiting the final verdict by the jury of the contest.
As such, emblematic Capas Seseña and Calzados Franjul have lent their window shops to the schools and future professionals of ESNE School.
