Winners of the Vth Window Shop Competition Madrid es Moda
Students from the best fashion and design schools in Madrid (Madrid’s Higher Fashion Design Centre, IED Madrid and ESNE) are the protagonists of the competition’s novel category. In this edition, ESNE students of the second year of Interior Design, Amanda Corral, Alberto Rubio and Rubén Muñoz, won Madrid es Moda’s Best Novel Window Shop Award (which includes a diploma, 500€ and a Marcelo Vilá’s mannequin) for the installation made in the Franjul store with models by the shoe brand, a dress by Ulises Mérida and a cape by Seseña. From ESNE they wished to highlight the great collaboration and involvement in the project of the three fashion brands. The students stated, “This first professional experience means a first contact with the environment of fashion and window dressing that can help us in the future to develop other projects, and that also gives us visibility”.
Ulises Mérida is happy “to be able to collaborate in the training of future design professionals by providing a look that they have selected ad hoc for their idea. We are happy to participate in activities like this one, one and a thousand times.” Capas Seseña, who has already collaborated very successfully in previous editions of these awards, considers that “despite being a brand with 120 years of history, this type of action makes us feel as if we were born again with the help of these young students”. Calzados Franjul feels that “it has been an honour to collaborate again in this project with Ulises Mérida and Capas Seseña, and a luxury that ESNE students have been able to show their creativity without limits, and play with the clothes to make this shop window that has finally been selected as the winner. ”
