About Álvaro Calafat

Alvaro Calafat is a Spanish fashion designer, founder of the brand Alvaro Calafat 1995. He was born in the mid 90's in Malaga, specifically in Torremolinos, a coastal town in the south of Andalusia, where he spent his youth near the sea, the culture of the region and flamenco.

After a very lively youth, he decides to study fashion design, in his second year he presents his first collection, "Tobalo", where he begins to develop as a young designer, months later he presents "Qarmida" an extension of the first collection where he lays the foundations of knitting, among other techniques. The years of career passed and in his final thesis was born "Chapter 1 Unbalance" where he exhibited the toxic attitudes that affect the fashion world. This professional collection opened the doors to 080 Barcelona, a platform that professionally trained the designer and with which, months later, he presented "Cap 2 Recuerdo". This collection presents the designer, showing his personal museum of memories, as if they were kept in his head as works of art. At the same time, he studied his master's degree in Womenswear at UAL. At this point the brand begins to have international repercussions with publications in various Vogue, dressing celebrities such as Nathy Peluso, Marc Forné or Samantha Hudson.

After a pandemic, he worked to embark on his next project, which will be presented at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid: "3LeMorte", this new collection full of symbolism, quality and change, will lay the foundations of the house, going from being a boy who made collections to a profitable company with a future and international projection. Alvaro Calafat's debut on the MBFW MADRID platform shows how the house has evolved and how we will discover a new universe.
