As the sun set on Saturday, February 22, at
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, the runway was draped in introspection and
avant-garde aesthetics with Ángel Schlesser’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection.
Under the creative direction of Alfonso Pérez, the brand presented a proposal
that stripped fashion down to its essence, exploring the very soul of garments
through an architectural and conceptual approach.
The collection, titled "Autopsia," draws
inspiration from the idea of revealing what is hidden—bringing the internal
outward. Alfonso Pérez describes this concept as "a chilling, unsettling
word… but also, a way of bringing out what we have inside." This premise
materialized in designs with pure, clean lines, where strategic openings acted
as portals, inviting an introspective liberation that allowed the inner self to
manifest externally.

The collection’s color palette moved through
neutral and subdued tones, reflecting the restrained elegance that so
distinctly characterizes the brand. However, it is in the structure of the
garments where the true innovation lies. Classic silhouettes were deconstructed
to give way to more daring and dynamic forms—difficult to envision on a hanger
but coming to life as they adapted to the human body. This duality between the
static and the organic created a visual tension that captivated attention and
challenged conventional aesthetics.

The show unfolded in an atmosphere that felt
almost surgical, with precise lighting accentuating the textures and structures
of each piece. A minimalist and immersive soundtrack accompanied the models’
slow, deliberate strides, exuding a serenity that invited contemplation. Each
step resonated with force, marking the rhythm of a narrative that explored the
relationship between body and garment, between the visible and the hidden.

Ángel Schlesser’s collection not only defies
established norms but also invites deep introspection on the very nature of
fashion and its ability to express the ineffable. In a world where trends are
often perceived as superficial and fleeting, collections like "Autopsia"
remind us of fashion’s potential to be a profound and meaningful exploration.
Under Alfonso Pérez’s vision, Ángel Schlesser continues to redefine the
boundaries of creativity, offering proposals that serve both as aesthetic
statements and invitations to reflection.
Thus, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid
concludes on a high note, with "Autopsia" standing as a testament to
fashion’s transformative power—an art form capable of unraveling the layers of
our identity and revealing the beauty that lies within the depths of our being.
