From new niche tailoring company Sunad to world-renowned footwear label Manolo Blahnik, we pick out some of the most appealing Spanish fashion brands
Sunad
The brand takes its name from dunas (Spanish for dunes) spelled backwards and is inspired by the colours of the desert. It was founded by friends Ana Marroquin and Paloma Canut. ‘We designed a very versatile collection with the idea that Sunad pieces are suitable for any occasion,’ they say. ‘Our shirts are perfect for jeans and loafers, or tailored trousers for more formal moments and denim shorts on holiday.’

Masscob
Power couple Marga Massanet and Jacobo Cobían set up Masscob in 2003 to revive old-school artisanal techniques and combine them with new technology. ‘We value the importance of creating silhouettes,’ they say ‘so that our style combinations work in harmony with each other but can be adapted to fit any situation, whether work or play.’

Delpozo
The autumn/winter 2017/18 collection of prêt-à-couture label Delpozo marks the 10th showing and five-year anniversary of creative director Josep Font. The brand embraces time-honoured couture techniques for the modern woman and this season it has a particularly impressive approach to volume (read tulle), colour (especially a bold yellow dress) and silhouette. Delpozo was recently invited to show at Paris Couture Week as a guest label by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, a very big deal indeed.
