The 16th Andalusian Fashion Week has begun with a parade at the headquarters of the Culture Delegation of the Andalusian Government on Calle Capitulares. This edition aims to promote and give visibility to crafts made in Andalusia, the heritage and cultural value of the Andalusian community, emerging talent as well as promoting youth entrepreneurship as well as betting on a strategic and business vision of Fashion.
During this first day of Code 41, the parade was held as part of the official program of the Eutopia Festival, organized by the Andalusian Youth Institute, which belongs to the Ministry of Employment, Training and Self-Employment and has had the institutional support of the IAJ, the Culture Delegation of the Junta de Andalucía and the Historical Center Delegation of the Córdoba City Council.
The firms Valeriano Luna, Manu García, Joaquín Serra, Moscoso Elías, Sandra Rosa and Florencio Pérez have shown their creations at the most important fashion event in Andalusia.
Valerio Luna and his 'Amazonica' collection
Valerio Luna invites you to enter the world of the Amazon, an authentic garden, where each flower, each woman is unique and beautiful with her latest collection: Amazonica. A collection designed and created with the heart, passion and love for natural beauty, inspired by the tropical forest and its biodiversity.
The bridal collection has a wide variety of shapes and volumes, from mermaid dresses with pronounced waists fitted with original belts, to majestic skirts in different fabrics. Skirts, whose volumes are built from the inside, in which the transparencies and details highlight femininity.
In the party collection, Valerio Luna travels to the Amazon jungle to show his wildest side with elegance and distinction. Inspired by that tropical paradise, each design becomes a botanical garden that comes to life, with its own color palette, blue and pink tones, others in yellow and black, colors full of symbology.
The silhouettes of the new collection by Valerio Luna, a firm belonging to the Higar Novias group, are light and with an unmistakable style. Among them, trouser dresses and vaporous blouses stand out, transmitting freshness and modernity through fabrics such as gauze, beaded fringes, organza and many details.
Manu García and his 'Brisa' collection
The caresses of the sea breeze on the skin are the most adorable. Based on this thought, Manu García, belonging to the Higar Novias group, has created the Brisa collection, of bridal and party fashion that is born from the freedom that comes from being close to the sea thanks to its lightness and purity.
The wedding dresses in the collection, based on natural fabrics, pay homage to craftsmanship. Suggestive and light designs, where the embroidered applications illuminate the main fabric, between silk tulle, delicate lace, plumetis and gauze.
For party garments, for his part, Manu García materializes the essence of that breeze that caresses the skin with designs, where sequins and iridescent fabrics are in perfect harmony with gauze and rhinestones accompanied by silhouettes that mold to the body such as fish scales.

"A collection full of life, colorful and vibrant, with shades of blue, pink and purple, with a common denominator, which can be seen in each dress - the sense of movement", says the designer
Joaquín Serra and his 'Success' collection
New designer Joaquín Serra returns to the catwalk to present his new collection: Éxito. With this sample, the creative aims to highlight successful women who have lived in different eras and have exercised the most varied professions.
"Women from Ancient Greece and the Middle Ages to the present have inspired this collection," says Joaquín Serra. Among the elements in which the designer has been inspired are "the masks of the Greek functions, the huge skirts and more transparencies, which find the balance to make completely current looks for successful women", highlights the designer.
Since his beginnings as a designer, Joaquín Serra has combined tradition and modernity in all of his collections. The creative defines his style as "elegant" both in his flamenco fashion designs and those on the red carpet.
Moscoso Elías and his 'Ofelia' collection
For their new collection, Ofelia, the designers Antonio and Iván Moscoso Elías, at the head of the firm Moscoso Elías, have been inspired by the painting by John Everett Millais, which represents the scene from the play of Hamlet written by William Shakespeare in which Ofelia dies after going mad with love. Under this premise, romanticism is the protagonist of the new collection of these two designers from Cordoba. Pastel colours, pinks, blues and some floral prints will be the protagonists of the new exhibition by Moscoso Elías.
The fabrics chosen for the new collection also go hand in hand with all the romanticism that surrounds it. Among them, crepe stands out, a polytechno finished in satin or Jacquard fabric that completes soft silhouettes, with wide volumes and little tight.
The designers Antonio and Iván Moscoso admit that when designing their collections "we really like to be inspired by art and reflect the history of a painting, for example, in a fashion collection in order to translate it into today's reality".
Sandra Rosa and her collection '#MARIAEUGENIA'
The new collection by Cordoban designer Sandra Rosa is called #MARIAEUGENIA in honor of the female figure. With this new collection, the designer wants to represent a free, insightful, persevering, tenacious and fun woman through ultra-feminine silhouettes with pronounced shoulders and a marked waist to counteract this with flowing fabrics.
The firm's seal of identity "combines the influence of women who have marked a before and after in the world of fashion, as well as that of current designers who are currently influencing it, without forgetting our Andalusian roots," says Sandra Pink.
The creative defends that her designs try to capture this idea, creating ultra-feminine garments full of character, with which the women who wear them can express their style and personality through them.
Florencio Pérez and his 'Joy of Living' collection
This is how the designer Florencio Pérez, at the head of the firm of the same name, defines the starting point of the new collection, Alegría de vivir. "It reflects joy, color and feeling after the two bad years we've been through," says the designer. Bright colors such as fuchsia, turquoise or yellow predominate in the new collection, combined with floral prints with the aim of "transmitting light and energy", according to Florencio Pérez.
The silhouettes of the new sample presented by the designer are dominated by puffed sleeves, large volumes, over skirts and tulle fabrics. Florencio Pérez confesses that "perhaps this collection is more commercial and restrained than the previous ones" although "without losing the style that defines it".
The Florencio Pérez firm has evolved over the years depending on the current moment. All in all, the creative defines his brand as elegant and "wanting to attract attention, but without losing any iota of sophistication".
