Claro Couture presented its DOBLE C collection for Fall/Winter 2025-2026 as the final show on the first day of the 81st Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. The collection draws inspiration from Andalusian culture, blending the elegance of the 50s with the boldness of the 80s.
Feminine cuts dominate the dresses, while structured suits and skirts bring the sharp, defined look of the 80s. The collection also features large shoulder pads, crystal fringes, mini ruffles, and headscarves, celebrating the era’s bold style. Corsets highlight the female form, adding strength to the overall look.
Flamenco Influences Meet Contemporary Style
Flamenco-inspired elements like ruffles and updated polka dots provide a traditional touch, while the designs also offer a modern twist. Fashion influencer Gemma Pinto, the girlfriend of MotoGP rider Marc Márquez, was among the models on the runway.

A Fresh Take on Elegance and Tradition
The brand has evolved significantly in recent seasons, with Beatriz Claro now leading the creative direction after taking over from her father, Fernando, the founder of the brand. Color plays an essential role in the collection, with shades like emerald green, dark purple, orange, and classic black and white. DOBLE C not only honors Andalusian traditions but also redefines elegance in a fresh and innovative way.
