Leandro Cano from Spain, the winner of the 2012 fashion talent award Designer for Tomorrow by Peek & Cloppenburg Duesseldorf, has presented his first fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin. Last year, the designer impressed the jury of industry experts and patron Marc Jacobs and was the first international designer to win this fashion talent award.
Leandro Cano took his inspiration from the figure of Azreal, who, as a white angel, helps souls cross the line of heaven, illustrated in the collection by melancholic tones and baroque nostalgic vibes with an intense atmosphere of the modern zeitgeist. The collection ‘ÁNIMA – the soul’ is comprised of high-quality wool, fake fur elements as well as transparent plastic and printed leather with particular attention drawn to floral prints and handmade ceramic flowers.
