It was an occasion to offer an intimate look at Malne's atelierwhere Paloma Álvarez and Juanjo Mánez personally receive their clients. The space evokes the spirit of the haute couture ateliers of the 20th century, but with a fully contemporary aesthetic and functionality.
Although focused on summer commissions, the team was already working on its next collection: Frida 21. A proposal inspired by the universe of Frida Kahlo and reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective, which promises to become one of her most personal and ambitious developments.
