ALVAR MERINO

INTO THE UNKNOWN

INTO THE UNKNOWN is an exploration of the emotions that arise when facing a new challenge. From the blank page of a project to the leap into the unexpected, this collection captures the tension between euphoria and uncertainty, excitement and concern. 

Inspired by the spirit of adventure, the proposal incorporates functional dress codes with technical references from exploration and survival, while maintaining the urban character that defines the brand’s essence. Durable materials, strategic closures, metallic hardware, and structured cuts shape pieces that challenge traditional dress codes. 

Chromatically, the collection transitions from white to black, symbolizing the emotional journey of daring into the unknown, with gray tones as intermediates and vibrant accents representing milestones and achievements along the way. 

INTO THE UNKNOWN is a statement of intent, a collection that embraces uncertainty as part of the creative and life process. A bold design that balances functionality and style, created for those who see each new challenge as an opportunity for reinvention.

    David Merino, creator of ALVAR MERINO, is a dreamer with the soul of a Renaissance man. A craftsman by vocation and an explorer of identity through fashion, his work draws from tradition but looks straight into the future.

    He studied art and industrial design in Barcelona and fashion design in Burgos, building a multidisciplinary vision without losing attention to detail and precision.

    In October 2024, he debuted at 080 Barcelona Fashion with CICATRICES, a collection that spoke of the skin as a living diary, a witness to scars, changes, and memory. Now, he returns to 080 Barcelona with INTO THE UNKNOWN, a collection that dives into the uncertainty and excitement of new beginnings, exploring fashion as preparation for the unknown, with technical elements and an approach that challenges conventional dress codes.

    Faithful to craftsmanship and slow fashion, ALVAR MERINO continues to explore fashion as a limitless language, where each piece is a story in the making.
