Pepa Salazar is changing the game in global fashion.

Born in Valencia, she moved to Madrid to pursue fashion, graduating from the Spanish branch of the notable Istituto Europeo di Design before starting her professional journey at Loewe. She went solo in 2013, and won the Vogue Fashion Fund Award in 2023, and recently launched her hotly anticipated SS25 collection with a rave-themed party in the Spanish capital.

Her bold, experimental designs have earned her recognition in the industry, leading to collaborations with icons like Madonna and Rosalia. With a fearless approach to pattern, form, and movement, her work has left an indelible mark on modern pop culture.

Salazar’s style is defined by a deep admiration for the female form, her collections driven by figure-hugging silhouettes that celebrate and embrace individuality.

Madrid

Pizzas and nice cocktails, what else do you need? Also a nice place for a date ;)

If you want to have nice drinks until late but don’t want to go to a club either this is your place. Also one of the spots where you can meet fun people if you want an unexpected night.

If you are looking for traditional good Spanish food this is your place. It's a cozy tavern situated in Malasaña hood, really nice to walk around.

It is a classic. Charming old fashion vibes for the best cocido Madrileño that is a must if you are visiting the city.

It used to be Sorolla's house in Madrid. It is perfectly well conserved and of course it contains stunning pieces of the painter, a real hidden treasure.

The best plan for a Sunday sunny morning in winter. After walking around the flea market get some time to visit all the design stores arround. Nothing better after that than having a vermut and some tapas on a terrace.

An amazing studio that also works as a multidisciplinary space for performances, art exhibitions and pop-ups. It's also going to have a store which promises to be a hot fashion spot.
