As Jaime \u00c1lvarez puts it, sometimes you have to step away to reconnect. After nearly a year\u2019s absence, the creative director of Mans has returned to the Madrid runway with a fall 2025 collection where fabric is at the core. His vision was to strike a balance between simplicity and complexity, a goal he achieved by approaching his menswear and womenswear separately. \u201cIn previous seasons, we adapted men\u2019s patterns to women, but this year we\u2019ve created a women\u2019s pattern from scratch, 100% for them, which is what our customers have been asking for,\u201d said the Seville-born designer.<\/p>\n
As for the suits, a Mans signature, the collars were now hand-stitched to the lapels for a more streamlined effect. These sartorial touches coexisted with shirts and pencil skirts, reinterpreted through frills and pleats, dyed in different shades of yellow and pink, and in rich pairings like aubergine and navy blue. The materials also embraced contrasts: \u201cI wanted to blend the brutalism of cool wool, typically used in tailoring, with delicate fabrics like organza and chiffon,\u201d \u00c1lvarez revealed. Sheer dresses also posed a challenge, he shared, particularly because of the tailoring complexities they usually demand at the atelier. This attention to detail is the basis for the slow but steady growth of the brand, now seeking to reach new audiences: \u201cFor the past year, we\u2019ve noticed an influx of customers from Latin American countries who are opting for high-quality Spanish design,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Jaime \u00c1lvarez puts it, sometimes you have to step away to reconnect.
