The most versatile venue on the entire international circuit
One aspect that stood out in this edition was the creativity in terms of the setting and staging. The Mercedes-Benz runway in Hall 14.1 at IFEMA MADRID has been upgraded to improve visibility. In addition, it has proven more versatile than ever, transforming the stage to suit the theme of each show. From showcasing fashion inspired by all aspects of the film world to hosting a ballet performance, a trip through Italy by Sofia Loren with a live soundtrack, and a stage in Ancient Greece, there were many beautiful settings in this edition.
