Last night, the international launch of the MANGO Spring/Summer 2011 collection took place at the Crystal Gallery of the Cibeles Palace in Madrid. The firm presented its collection for men and women in a catwalk chaired by Isak Andic, the company Chairman, and before numerous celebrities, loyal followers of the brand at its presentations.

Olivia Palermo, Johannes Huebl, Elettra Wiedemann, Josephine de la Baume, Emmanuelle Alt, Naty Abascal, Luís Medina, Laura Vecino, Cari Lapique, Boris Izaguirre, Manuel Martos and Amelia Bono, among others, supported the firm’s catwalk with their presence, which was also attended by famous faces from the world of Spanish fashion and society, including Olivia de Borbón, Carla Royo Villanova, Vega Royo Villanova, Fernando Gómez Acebo and Mónica Martín Luque, Simoneta Gómez Acebo, María García de la Rasilla, Álvaro de Marichalar and Ekaterina, Ana García Siñeriz, Alejandra de Rojas, Minerva Portillo, Marisa Jara, Alejandra Martos, Nuria Roca, Paloma Lago, Mar Flores, Priscila de Gustin, Bárbara Muñoz, Carla Nieto, Jan Cornet, Fernando Andina, Toni Acosta, Sergio Mur, Ricard Sales, Cristina Alcázar, Dafne Fernández, Silvia Alonso, Mónica Estarreado, Iker Lastre, Fanny Gautier, Jesús Olmedo and Nerea Garmendia.

This new collection, called Modernist Resort, is going for a clean, modernist look with the emphasis on simple lines and minimalist silhouettes. The casting included the Brazilian top model Isabeli Fontana.

The new H.E by MANGO men’s collection returns this season with the same idea of combining sport and retro elements. A collection which reinterprets the classics, applying a slightly ethnic air to the garment interiors and finishes.

After the catwalk, MANGO offered a grand party-concert in the same Crystal Gallery, which featured the exclusive moments, such as the performance by Micky Green. The guests enjoyed a special cocktail for the occasion, served by Caritina Goyanes’ Six Sens.

COMMENTS BY OLIVIA PALERMO
“I really like the collection, particularly the colours and the different garments in it, I really like the coats, the camel tone is very intense; perhaps the garment I like most is a camel coat which has a very wide neck.”

“I don’t know how I became a fashion icon, someone took my picture and from then on I became famous, appearing on an MTV programme also helped; it is a major compliment for me, I always tell young girls they should be glamorous every day, it is a must.”

“My style has been influenced by the great women of fashion and old Hollywood films; I take quite a lot of inspiration from them and also from street chic; I observe street fashion, take photos of everything and this is reflected in my style.”

“I’m currently working on a TV project, my own show”

COMMENTS BY MICKY GREEN
“It has to be a fresh, modern and amusing woman, that’s what people want today.”
