Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, organized by Ifema Madrid with the support of the Madrid City Council, will hold its next edition from March 18 to 22, 2026. Spanning five carefully curated days, the upcoming season reflects the diversity, creative excellence, and growing international reach of Spanish fashion.

From the couture-level sophistication of opening day to the experimental spirit of emerging designers showcased through EGO, MBFWMadrid once again transforms the city into a focal point for contemporary fashion.

This season’s calendar unfolds across multiple Madrid landmarks: the opening and second day will take place at the Palace of Cibeles and the Palace of Fernán Núñez, home of the Spanish Railways Foundation, and the final three days move to Hall 14.1 at Ifema Madrid. Complementing the runway shows, MBFWMadrid will also host an exclusive social calendar of events and private gatherings, designed to create immersive experiences around the fashion week.

Ahead of the official schedule, Tuesday, March 17, will feature a runway show by the invited international brand, followed by the official opening dinner of this new edition.

The opening day, set within Madrid City Hall’s Palace of Cibeles, sets the tone with a celebration of craftsmanship, contemporary luxury, and established creative voices. Renowned designers present collections that seamlessly bridge tradition and modernity. SEV (Sophie et Voilà) will make its first appearance on the catwalk, followed by Juan Vidal, Pedro del Hierro, Isabel Sanchis, and Claro Couture. The day concludes with Teresa Helbig, who celebrates 30 years of her career, presenting her collection at the Infanta Isabel theatre. A first day that strikes a balance between luxury, innovation, and savoir-faire.

The second day unfolds at the Palace of Fernán Núñez, home to the Spanish Railways Foundation, a historic setting newly added to the fashion week circuit. The focus shifts to a new generation of designers, whose talent and collections are already resonating on an international scale, including ManéMané, Ernesto Naranjo, Mans, Ynesuelves, Baro Lucas, winner of Best Collection at the previous edition, Label Edition, JCPajares, celebrating its tenth anniversary, and Acromatyx.

On Friday, the runway returns to Hall 14.1 at Ifema Madrid to celebrate fashion as a vehicle for identity and personal expression. Established brands with strong creative voices come together in a vibrant and diverse lineup. Among them, Coosy x Miguel Palaci,o which opens the day with its MBFWMadrid debut, Simorra, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Hannibal Laguna, Erroz with its sustainability-driven approach, Custo, Malne, and Maison Mesa.

The final day of the main calendar places craftsmanship and creative diversity at the forefront, presenting fashion as a sensory and performative experience. The day opens with Ángel Schlesser, followed by Menchen Tomas, Fely Campo, Odette Álvarez, Yolancris, and Lola Casademunt by Maite.

On Sunday, MBFWMadrid turns its spotlight to EGO, the platform dedicated to emerging talent, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this season. Ten designers, including Adrià Egea, Antonio Acuario, Bonet, Caducifolium, Eaftimos, Lina Saturni, Maikarfi, Maison Gracen, Mericusan, and Pringa, will present their collections without assigned time slots, highlighting disruptive, sustainable, and deeply personal creative languages. EGO reaffirms MBFWMadrid’s role as an incubator for new voices and trends, closing the week with a forward-looking vision of Spanish fashion.
