Maria Lafuente’s style encapsulates the new age in its silhouette, diversity and sexuality.
Her signature dresses are flirty yet sophisticated and fun. Her jackets exhibit a sexy and playful quality and can be characterized by romantic fabrics and the use of warm colors.
She’s established a wardrobe for young Spanish women. Many say her clothes represent freedom and elegance in fashion.
“Inspiration comes from music, cinema and, of course, people. Their energy can be so spirit-stirring," says Maria.
She told RT that she never sacrifices comfort for trendy looks. “I create clothes for women who are in harmony with the world.”
Her latest autumn-winter collection is aimed at “mysterious women who never stop dreaming.”
Maria uses natural fabrics, such as silk, wool and organza, feminine shapes, soft colours and floral prints.
The Spanish designer has a roster of awards for originality and creativity. Miami, Tokyo, Moscow. Maria travels around the world looking for ideas and dreams to fulfill. She says she never tires of designing. “It’s my passion. I can’t imagine doing anything else!”
