Simorra's latest collection flips Saint-Exupéry's idea of the invisible essential, offering something visible yet deeply essential. Staged at Madrid's Palacio de Cristal during Fashion Week, the show wove pleats and natural, neutral tones into a cohesive narrative, moving from a transparent cream gown to a pink halter dress with silver details. Wide sleeves, flowing trousers, blazers, and denim rounded it out, delivered with the confidence and polish the house is known for.

We have all read or heard the celebrated phrase by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Today, Simorra presents its SS27 collection, which is very visible to the eye and very essential to the spirit.
Some claim it’s been since the pandemic; others claim that it arrived alongside the fast, voracious, and even scavenging advance of technology, but it’s true: we live in an increasingly rigid society. Although unlike your elders at the Christmas dinner, I won’t dare blame my “still young” generation, or the alphas coming right behind; in fact, I won’t commit the imprudence of casting judgment and blame on anyone. Rigidity is built, worked at, and settled, and that is everyone’s task.
The Spanish house Simorra maintains today that behind this there may be a simple miscalculation in the gaze. Everything may seem flat, straight, and even boring, until we subtly turn the eye to look a little like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry did. Perhaps, only then, will we be able to appreciate the secrets hidden between the folds of life, “—because it is in the curve where respect for form is found, in the fold of the fabric that molds itself to each body where the embrace is built—”
Every time Madrid Fashion Week approaches, there is a certain air of desperation and desire, a thirst for something new. Simorra always quenches it. The show, relocated from the traditional Ifema, took place at a sweltering 2:00 pm on Monday. Surrounded by nature, we found ourselves at the so-called “Palacio de Cristal” in Arganzuela, a beautiful greenhouse not far from the center of Madrid.
It usually takes some minutes, but at Simorra we could tell that every single look was intelligently connected to the next, a conversation that began with a cream, transparent dress wrapping the model’s body from the neck down to a beautiful train, and ended with a pink halter-neck dress with silver balls helping the coherence of the neckline’s own folds, with a succession of looks in between religiously following the theme of the collection.
Natural and neutral colors coexist among the different sewing techniques. Dresses completely wrapped in pleats from chest to train, reminiscent of a honeycomb; wide and flowing sleeves; wide-leg trousers; blazers; and, of course, denim, a house classic.
There is something special about those shows where you see each of the models comfortable, confident, and stripped of any fear that something might go wrong. At Simorra, nothing ever seems to go wrong. The work is visibly and undoubtedly well done and, as they say, there is no stitch without thread.
