Fernando Carderera, Ambassador of Spain in Paris; Modesto Lomba and Pepa Bueno, President and Director of ACME, were in charge of welcoming the guests to this networking activity, which brought together many professionals from the world of fashion and culture. Personalities such as José Ignacio Wert, Chief Ambassador of the Spanish delegation to the OECD in Paris; Maria Teresa Lizaranzu, Ambassador of the Spanish delegation to UNESCO; Sheila Loewe, Director of the Loewe Foundation; the Director of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, Charo Izquierdo; the President of the Group Perfumes y Diseño, Pedro Trólez, the choreographer and dancer Blanca Li, and model Violeta Sánchez, were present at this great Spanish fashion event.
Fernando Burgaz, General Director of Industria Alimentaria, supported with his presence the collaboration of ACME with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment, to promote during the event our best fashion together with the best Spanish gastronomy, two fundamental pillars for Brand Spain.
