Experiencia Gafas Amarillas: Merche. Chronic and experiences of my first

This year was the first time I have risen to the fashion week in Madrid, Merche A.K. Cibeles. He was eager, illusion without any invitation to parade Ifema.

Still I told myself – that I am a lot of talking to myself – “Manu, climb and enjoy the weekend. Learn all this and take the opportunity to relax and change of scenery”. Neither short nor lazy I cajoled Gema, my best friend and good photographer, to spend a weekend in Madrid. Surrounded by a marked kitsch air at the hostel where we stayed we have faced and polar used this time to learn firsthand the MBFWM, the first year hybrid between gateway and dealer.

Today I will not tell you things about the shows or proposals next I invest; but transferred the experiences and feelings I've had in this, my first visit to Cibelespacio.

¿And whose are you? An unforgivable failure: As I already told you if you have read me on Twitter, As I am very stupid, in Granada I forgot my iconic glasses yellow and therefore my fundamental hallmark, so you could say that I went to Cyberspace incognito… If that ever happens, you forget the most important!

¿follow the pack?: Incredible gregarious atmosphere, even sectarian, that was breathed in terms of "personalities” and styles. You could distinguish perfectly herds preppys, the Londers, of modennos, of gayers, de seventies o de ladys…. No one doubts that the most marked trends are followed and that all that we turn them feel interest, but i found so much more “feign” than i even guessed. ¿All facade and pretend? ¿Where is the go to discover new things?

¿glamor or work?: It is clear that feeds the aspirational Cibelespacio feeling but we must not forget that Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid is a public display, international and real of a wide work of creators or team. Everything was anchored in a feeling of "luxury” and a certain frivolity” where I know
It should breathe professionalism of a very important sector in Spain. the most interesting for me – for my training – it was the press and bloggers area where they were working. You have to have a good time too… ¿Queuing for a glass of water, without regard to broadcasting the parade, really has something to do with our moda?

Un showroom fantástico: Great space dedicated to novice or emerging designers, where you can discover TRUE revelations and news – of ideas, design and creation – Spanish fashion. Should be further enhanced, and the ego.

meet and meet – encontrarse: I found it a great place for meetings and re.encuentros. Sin duda, ever seeing Carmen Milowcost o Almudena de Moda is everything that goes out of style has been a pleasure. I was looking forward to meeting many more references in this area; I promise that the next time that will leave me at home shame, no spectacles!

¿What's under the carpet? ¿The carpet is laid for mere glamor? I do not believe it. It is to hide the footprints and “debris” that the thousands of visitors leave. It is curious detail that Gema was set to leave the smoking area, where swirling fluff, el pelo synthetic or even the loose sequins in the corners and steps… Be careful, do not go to despiezaros in MBFWM!

Five cents of discord: On a catwalk like this week with the polar cold invading Madrid ¿What to do with your coat when you get to Cyberspace? Keep in the closet! Good idea until you discover that the wardrobe costs, very concretely, 1.65€ per garment. This time do not come to complain about expensive, but it's funny the realization detail (no 1.50€ o 2€. Son 1.65€). ¿¡Who assesses and for what reasons it is considered necessary those 5 Key cents!? Well for those fucking five cents I had to change a 20 bill€!!

Absolut shows: Another highlight of the space was the showcase with creations inspired or made according to the philosophy of my preferred vodka ever…. y ¿cómo no?, things as cool as these had to come out…

In short a molona experience but I have quite clear: La Next time I go if I'm going to see a parade, because I can go without my picture on a mercedes, design a shirt for Vogue, that Víctor Blanco make me a soft and kind criticism to the styling – I didn't upload that gave me cut but I imagine what he would have said – or take out a 7.9 Analyzer in style with the phrase "simple but elegant". Thanks salao!
