How are fashion brands perceived in Spain? Spain's creatives and cool kids describe their vision of fashion

Cristobàl Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne, Manolo Blanhik and Enrique Loewe y Roessberg are just some of the great designers that Spain has given to the world - a country where the fashion scene is more vital than ever, present as it is at Paris Fashion Week with Loewe and Arturo Obegero as at Madrid Fashion Week with Palomo Spain and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. The influence of centuries of history and art, the extraordinary architecture of cities, the centuries-old traditions married to the internationalism of cities such as Madrid and Barcelona make Spain one of the most important playgrounds on the European luxury scene. 

To better analyze the dominant trends today in Spain, the editorial staff asked five Spanish fashion insiders to use the Cartesio platform, created by nss factory in collaboration with Lyst, to categorize the main luxury brands.

«Fashion is becoming increasingly unpredictable, designers and creative directors are working in charge of consumers and it's a sad thing. Only a few like Raf Simons and Matthew Williams have stuck to their essence, keeping themselves safe from an impulsive market, which follows the hype too much».
