Showspace
Discover Plaza Mayor, Madrid’s beating heart and cultural landmark, as it transforms into the showspace for Spring 26.
The collection’s textures and tailoring connected heritage with modernity. Golden jacquard recalled brocades, plaid wool echoed Plaza Mayor’s cobblestones, and lace trims and lurex embroidery evoked mantillas and trellises. Polka dots – a Herrera code – appeared in new iterations, while tailoring featured trapeze shapes, matador-inspired hip structures and slim tapered trousers. Signature sleeves and ruffled skirts drew from the chulapas and were reinterpreted as timeless Herrera classics.
The Collection
The Spring 26 collection was inspired by Madrid, capturing the city’s rhythm, contrasts and appetite for life. Its vivid palette balanced boldness and romance – from saffron yellow and Herrera red to deep Rioja, Violeta lilac, crisp white, graphic black and bright pink. At its heart, carnations, violetas and Retiro roses bloomed in embroidery and jacquard, symbols of the city woven throughout the collection.
