The young designer makes his Italian debut at Dolce&Gabbana’s special multi-brand shop in Milan.
Juan Vidal has been given an exceptional boost in his bid to conquer the global market. Designer duo Dolce&Gabbana have signed him to sell his designs at Spiga 2, a shop given over to boosting the profile of fashion newcomers.
In September 2010, Stefano and Domenico turned their legendary Milan shop at number 2, Via della Spiga (hence the name) into a multi-brand sales point. Now, the two partners scout the big trade fairs in their search for new talent combining ethics and aesthetics. It was at ZipZone in Paris that they came across the chic eclecticism “made in Spain” by Juan Vidal.
The precocious designer started out at the age of just 15. Now, well established at his studio-shop in Elda (Alicante), he is known for feminine silhouettes with defined waists. Customised fabrics with intricate detail and appliqué are also some of his hallmarks.
Today, Juan Vidal is putting the final touches to the presentation of his fifth collection. His Autumn/Winter 2012/13 will see the light of day at OFF Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, on 4 February at 8 p.m. at the home of Spanish dance company, Ballet Nacional de España.
