Mans Spain Fall 2025 Collection

Mans Spain Fall 2025 Collection

Vogue20-05-2025
As Jaime Álvarez puts it, sometimes you have to step away to reconnect. After nearly a year's absence, the creative director of Mans has returned to the Madrid runway with a fall 2025 collection where fabric is at the core. His vision was to strike a balance between simplicity and complexity, a goal he achieved by approaching his menswear and womenswear separately. 'In previous seasons, we adapted men's patterns to women, but this year we've created a women's pattern from scratch, 100% for them, which is what our customers have been asking for,' said the Seville-born designer.
As for the suits, a Mans signature, the collars were now hand-stitched to the lapels for a more streamlined effect. These sartorial touches coexisted with shirts and pencil skirts, reinterpreted through frills and pleats, dyed in different shades of yellow and pink, and in rich pairings like aubergine and navy blue. The materials also embraced contrasts: 'I wanted to blend the brutalism of cool wool, typically used in tailoring, with delicate fabrics like organza and chiffon,' Álvarez revealed. Sheer dresses also posed a challenge, he shared, particularly because of the tailoring complexities they usually demand at the atelier. This attention to detail is the basis for the slow but steady growth of the brand, now seeking to reach new audiences: 'For the past year, we've noticed an influx of customers from Latin American countries who are opting for high-quality Spanish design,' he stated.

Paco Cabezas On Vision For ‘Gypsy Bride' Finale And Directing ‘Wednesday'

Spanish filmmaker Paco Cabezas is a man in motion — moving between continents, genres, and creative worlds. He has just wrapped production on Atresmedia's La Nena, the final chapter of the acclaimed, dark thriller Gypsy Bride trilogy, and is now immersed in post-production, putting the finishing touches on the series. At the same time, he's eagerly awaiting the August premiere of Wednesday, excited for audiences to experience his dark and creative vision in the episodes of the Netflix hit that he directed. During an interview from Madrid, while still shooting scenes for La Nena, Cabezas reflected on his career path — a journey that has taken him from his native Seville to Hollywood and back to Spain, where he loves to work. He shared the source of his fascination with the macabre, his creative journey, his need for artistic freedom, and his commitment to bringing Spanish stories and locations to global audiences. ​How Early Exposure to Psychological Horror Shaped His Creative Path 'I watched The Silence of the Lambs when I was like 10, which was not a good idea,' he laughs. 'It was a shock for me watching that film.' But it sparked an interest in suspenseful and intense stories like David Fincher's Seven, planting the seeds for what would become his signature aesthetic — a love affair with darkness that permeates his work. His affinity for 'a good noir story' found its perfect match in Carmen Mola's Gypsy Bride novels, which Cabezas has adapted into a trilogy that's become increasingly his own. The project drew him to explore the underbelly of Madrid through the lens of gypsy culture, a world he felt uniquely positioned to interpret. 'It's hard to describe, but it has to do with flamenco, and it has a lot to do with flamenco music and the south of Spain,' says Cabezas. 'I'm from Seville, from southern Spain, and there's this thing about flamenco music and... something tragic about the way we see life, and the way that gypsy people see life. It's all about black and white. It's all about extremes — everything is either very funny or very tragic. There's not really a middle point, so when I read those books, I thought, okay, I think I can bring my vision into that.' Cabezas acknowledges that he has strayed from the source material, convinced that bringing his own style, sensitivity, and ideas has resulted in a more emotional storyline, enhanced by compelling visuals as the series evolved under his direction. 'The characters have grown so much, and the more they have grown, the more they separate themselves from the original novels. Some people have said that I went too far with La Red Púrpura, the second season of the show, and I'm so proud of it. Although I love La Novia Gitana (The Gypsy Bride), I think La Red Púrpura is even better. And I have the same feeling with La Nena. I think it's going to be even better,' he says. 'It's very different from the novel — very personal, very violent, very dark — but I'm very excited about the feminist story we're telling because the female characters are going to become even stronger.' He compares this evolution to the relationship between the Fargo film and television series — maintaining thematic DNA while creating something entirely new. Creative freedom is a recurring theme in Cabezas's work. In Spain, he's the architect of his universe, able to change scenes on the fly and rehearse with actors until the material feels alive. 'It's very refreshing and freeing to be able to create on the day with the actors,' he says. 'We're really going to miss each other when we finish this, because we created a family and we create together, and that's a beautiful feeling.' His style is hands-on — sometimes literally. 'I love the color of blood and I love to have a dark palette and then suddenly a splash of blood,' he says, gesturing to stage blood on his hands. 'I always tend to kind of put blood on the faces of the actors. I'm hands-on, like Picasso,' he laughs. His process is different in Hollywood. As one of three directors on the second season of Netflix's hit series Wednesday, Cabezas says he had to 'get into the mind of Tim Burton,' adapting to a world where 'every time you move a piece of the puzzle, seven different pieces move at the same time.' Still, he relished the challenge: 'I had to go back to my own teenage mind and connect with those things.' Cabezas's career has been defined by his refusal to compromise his vision. His breakthrough film, Neon Flesh, was 'very mature, very dark, very violent, very me,' he states. But when producers wanted to make it lighter, he pushed back. 'Although sometimes people will tell you you are wrong… I was always true to what I had to do with that film. And then the movie made it to the Tribeca Film Festival and I got an agent and a manager there.' That determination opened doors to a myriad of international film and television projects such as Penny Dreadful, The Alienist, The Umbrella Academy, and Into the Badlands. Whether working in English or Spanish, Cabezas brings his culture and love of Latin storytelling to every set. 'Every time that I can bring that to the table, it sort of flourishes,' he says. And while he's drawn to dark genres, Cabezas also values the element of surprise and suspense. 'Whether it's a movie or a TV show, I love to have the sensation as an audience that what I'm watching, I don't know what's going to happen next — the feeling that I'm not safe.' Beyond completing La Nena and his upcoming Wednesday season 3 commitments, Cabezas is developing La Línea, a film set in the drug-trafficking hub of southern Spain. 'It's a story about female characters, about a woman and her daughter,' he describes. 'It's like mixing Ocean's Eleven with The Sixth Sense. It's really original, and I'm in love with that script.' For Cabezas, success isn't measured in Hollywood clichés. 'To me, success is being able to tell the story that you want to tell and be creative and have the freedom to do whatever you think goes through your heart. That's success.' As he enters what he calls the 'second half' of his life, Cabezas is focused on meaning and connection. 'Now that I'm at a slightly higher level than I was a few years ago, I can help people out… That, to me, is success. That's being able to help people. That's the best.'

‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' Renewed for Fourth and Final Season at AMC

Daryl Dixon's journey to find his way back home has an endpoint. AMC announced Friday at Comic-Con that it has renewed The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon for a fourth and final season. Production is slated to begin in the coming days in Madrid and other locations in Spain. Series leads Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride will continue their roles in the eight-episode final run. More from The Hollywood Reporter "James Fraser Dies" in First 'Outlander' Season 8 Footage 'South Park' Creators Reveal Network Battle Over Premiere's Trump Penis as They Joke: "We're Terribly Sorry" 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues' Trailer Sees the Lads Reunite for One Last Gig 'Across two extraordinary series spanning almost two decades, Norman and Melissa have given life to two of the most iconic characters in the history of television. Daryl and Carol have taken fans on an unforgettable and intensely human journey of challenge, survival, hope and friendship, and the response from fans, from the very first moments of The Walking Dead, has been remarkable,' said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. 'We can't wait to share the upcoming third season of Daryl this fall and to begin production on this fourth and final season in Spain.' Reedus and McBride were in San Diego for the Comic-Con session alongside showrunner David Zabel and executive producers Scott M. Gimple (chief creative officer for the TWD franchise) and Greg Nicotero. Season three of Daryl Dixon, meanwhile, is set to premiere Sept. 7 and will follow Reedus' title character and McBride's Carol to Spain. Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada and Alexandra Masangkay also star. 'Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride,' Reedus said in a statement.

THE WALKING DEAD: DARYL DIXON Renewed for Fourth and Final Season — GeekTyrant

AMC announced at San Diego Comic-Con that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will return for a fourth season, but it will also be the last. While Daryl's next chapter will take him to Spain, this will mark the end of this particular spinoff story… at least for now. The announcement came during the show's Hall H panel, where Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol) appeared alongside showrunner David Zabel, executive producer Scott M. Gimple, and longtime Walking Dead legend Greg Nicotero . Season 3 is set to premiere September 7, and the final season begins production this month in Spain, even before fans have seen Season 3 hit screens. Season 3 of Daryl Dixon picks up with Daryl and Carol continuing their long journey back home and to the people they love. But getting there won't be easy. As AMC teases, their path 'takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.' The upcoming eight-episode final season will be filmed across some stunning Spanish locations including Madrid, Bilbao, Galicia, Andalucía, the Segovia region, and Toledo. For Reedus, this announcement is bittersweet, but he promises that the finale will be something special: 'Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It's been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it's been embraced. 'Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn't just an ending; it's a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl's journey is far from over.' Now, Daryl might be closing this chapter, but his story in The Walking Dead Universe isn't done yet. Could another series or movie be in the works? Never say never. Melissa McBride says she is thrilled to keep playing Carol alongside Daryl: 'It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol's adventure together in Europe and I keep coming back for more of these two characters. 'There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to. I'm going to revel in the moments as they come and am excited for the fans to see what we have been working on in these incredible locations.' AMC's Dan McDermott talked about just how big an impact these characters have had on TV history: 'Across two extraordinary series spanning almost two decades – Norman and Melissa have given life to two of the most iconic characters in the history of television. 'Daryl and Carol have taken fans on an unforgettable and intensely human journey of challenge, survival, hope and friendship, and the response from fans, from the very first moments of The Walking Dead, has been remarkable. 'We can't wait to share the upcoming third season of Daryl this fall and to begin production on this fourth and final season in Spain. Whatever awaits these two beloved characters, we know The Walking Dead Universe is a timeless franchise that holds endless possibilities for story and characters new and old.' This may be the end of Daryl Dixon as a series, but AMC isn't slowing down. Between Dead City , The Ones Who Live , and now this finale, the Walking Dead franchise continues to evolve. And with Reedus hinting that Daryl's journey is 'far from over,' fans have good reason to hope for more.
