Carolina Herrera is set to debut its SS26 collection at the iconic Plaza Mayor in Madrid, the four-hundred year-old landmark designed by Juan Gómez de Mora in the heart of the city.
Built in the early 17th Century during the reign of King Phillip III at the center of Hapsburg Madrid, the square, in its architectural blend of Classical and Baroque styles, has evolved over the centuries as the gathering place for Madrileños from all walks of life and visitors alike.
The Carolina Herrera show will be a celebration of the brand and a love letter to the city of Madrid, held at the quintessential gathering place and heart of the city, and symbolically the country.
In visiting the location, it was an immediate love at first sight for Creative Director Wes Gordon. “Plaza Mayor is Madrid’s beating heart, setting the city’s pulse. Its lively spirit draws you in instantly and became a vivid source of inspiration for the SS26 collection.”
