MARÍA ESCOTÉ
S x María Escoté
After several seasons fully immersed in sales, production, and the company’s infrastructure, we return to the runway more excited than ever with a new collection that reflects the technical and creative growth we’ve gained over the years. This collection is meticulously crafted, featuring special and unique garments, yet maintaining a certain commercial balance. Alongside these intricate statement pieces that define our brand and inspire our community, we are also focusing on commercial wear, infused with our signature identity and the experience we have acquired.
It’s the perfect balance between sophistication, exclusivity, and accessibility.
Passionate about film, art, and pop culture, which are integral to our DNA, this season we present a collection inspired by one of the most iconic superheroes in history. Both their contemporary values and striking aesthetics serve as the foundation for a collection that explores experimental tailoring, blended with the delicacy and sophistication that characterise our dresses. At the same time, we are taking a mature approach to graphics and prints, playing with volumes to create 3D effects, an element that has become a signature of the brand.
All of this is done with a commitment to conscious and sustainable fashion, incorporating up-cycling into many of our garments. Just as we did in our 2019 runway show, where we presented a collection entirely based on up-cycling, proving that modernity and sophistication can coexist with sustainable production.
This show is a statement—an opportunity to demonstrate that years of dedication and learning have positioned María Escoté at its finest moment.
María Escoté is a rebellious, passionate, and creative designer with a unique pop-inspired universe. Growing up surrounded by art—her mother a weaver, her father a painter—she developed a distinct artistic vision. In 2006, she launched her own brand, crafting vibrant streetwear that now walks the streets worldwide. Celebrities such as Beyoncé, Rosalía, Zendaya, Rita Ora, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry have embraced her eclectic style.
In 2010, Escoté won the Marie Claire award, and in 2012, she was selected as the most outstanding designer at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid by Mercedes Benz and Luisa Via Roma. She became a regular presence on the Madrid catwalk and was invited to Fierze4Ever 2012 in Florence. Her international reputation grew in 2014 after her highly praised show in Beijing, where she returned in 2016 to present new designs.
That same year, she made fashion history by launching “See Now, Buy Now,” allowing collections to be purchased immediately after their runway debut. This innovative approach expanded her brand’s global reach and set a new industry standard. In 2014, she also introduced “María Kids,” bringing her signature playful style to children’s fashion.
Escoté’s designs promote equality, love, and vibrant self-expression, leading to collaborations with My Little Pony, Hello Kitty, The Powerpuff Girls, Pucca, and Wonder Woman. Her collections merge nostalgia with contemporary streetwear, making her a favorite among pop culture icons.
Sustainability became part of her work in 2019 when she collaborated with Wallapop, reinterpreting second-hand garments into a unique runway collection that showcased her commitment to circular fashion. In 2020, she partnered with Desigual, launching a mangainspired collection filled with bold colors and floral motifs, injecting energy into autumn fashion.
Following its success, the Desigual x María Escoté collaboration continued, producing seasonal collections that gained dedicated collectors worldwide.
With her fearless approach to fashion, María Escoté continuously breaks boundaries, merging pop culture, sustainability, and streetwear into a visionary statement. Through her bold designs and collaborations, she remains at the forefront of contemporary fashion, redefining style with passion, creativity, and rebellious energy.
