Alvarno Winter
They have been showing for only a year and have already become the most desired and anticipated event of Madrid Fashion Week, the show no one wants to miss, by Alvarno, who on this occasion took us to the columned hall of the Círculo de Bellas Artes to present to us
With these premises, the show was destined to enchant me. With the soundtrack of I am love as background music, they made my hair stand on end. If you have seen the film, you would have loved to be present at what seemed like a family gathering of the Recchis, with their intense dramas seasoned by the most exquisite taste for luxury.
An authentic and rebellious Alvarno woman, who loves the discipline of Luxury and flawlessness.
Elements of the past exist in her future.
This is a strict fashion.
An altered tradition. A Duchess from the past?

The jewels on the long dresses were real, from Aldao, which required private security backstage and for one of their dressmakers to go to the jewelry store in the morning to sew the jewels on site. Immediately after the show, they were unstitched and sent back to the jewelry store. It is because of things like this that the Alvarno gentlemen are ensuring that when we talk about luxury on the Madrid runway, we talk about them.
I was particularly pleased to recognize the very elegant Nuria Fernández among the cast of models. Although on this occasion she was portraying a Duchess from the past, not long ago she had played a Countess. Nuria was the model for La Condesa's 2010 winter catalog, so it's not surprising that when an aristocratic bearing is sought, her face is one of the chosen.
Congratulations to Álvaro and Arnaud for a spectacular collection, the Recchis would be proud of you.
