Spanish heritage brand Tous partners with Portugal's Ahcor for surreal debut at Portugal Fashion
Bringing together legacy and experimentation, Spanish jewelry house Tous—founded in 1920—and Portuguese fashion label Ahcor—established in 2019 by designer Sílvia Rocha—joined forces for a striking debut at Portugal Fashion. Their Spring-Summer 2026 showcase, titled 'Ahcor with Tous,' blended oversized jewelry, sculptural handbags, and futuristic silhouettes in a collection where the classic met the uncanny, and tradition gave way to surreal transformation. For the runway, Rocha handpicked pieces from Tous's jewelry collections to accentuate Ahcor's latest looks, resulting in a cohesive visual story. The designer described the theme as 'a fusion between the classic and the almost alien'—a concept that came to life through sculptural contrasts and surreal detail during the exclusive Ahcor with Tous presentation. The full collection will soon be available on Ahcor's official website. As part of the Portugal Fashion Experience, Tous—a jewelry, accessories and fashion brand founded in 1920 in Catalonia by Salvador Tous Blavi and Teresa Ponsa Mas—launched its Infinity bracelet in the activation area from July 3 to 5. The initiative also featured support from former Tous school students trained at Cindor. In a backstage conversation with designer Sílvia Rocha shared more about the creative partnership. How did the collaboration with Tous begin? Sílvia Rocha: It started when Tous was introduced to the Ahcor brand, and from there, everything came together almost naturally. We quickly aligned the key details between both teams. I chose the jewelry pieces, and within a week, I had them all ready in a Tous store in Porto. FN: Which jewelry and handbag collections were used? SR: The selections were drawn from various collections, but the standout pieces came from the Daisy and Bold Bear lines. FN: Why those specific collections? What made them fit? SR: In my opinion, they were the best match for this collection. They reflect Tous's iconic identity while connecting deeply with the theme. These oversized pieces remind me of familiar objects—like grandma's old quilts—but with an unexpected twist. FN: What was the concept behind this season's Ahcor collection? SR: This collection is a tribute to what feels familiar yet strange. It's about that uncanny sensation when even everyday things start to feel unfamiliar. The idea is to blend the classic with something almost extraterrestrial. I worked with timeless silhouettes set against pure white, creating a canvas for bold color layers and clashing textures to heighten visual tension. Beauty here lies in asymmetry, in the odd and almost human. It's a ritual—a collision of the urban and the ethereal. Dressing becomes an act of inhabiting another planet. FN: Where can customers find your pieces? SR: In Portugal, exclusively through our official website, Internationally, we're stocked at The Citizen Room in Toronto, located at 982 Queen Street West. FN: Where do you see the most international sales? SR: Portugal is a strong market, with clients from diverse backgrounds. But if I had to name the top countries for sales, they would be the United States, Portugal, Canada, and France. SR: Not just yet. I've wanted to explore that for some time, but I feel like the brand still needs to stabilize internally before making that leap.

Mango appoints Eva Gallego to lead its women's division
As part of its ongoing leadership reshuffle, Mango has appointed Eva Gallego as global director of its women's category. She will succeed Luis Maseres, who is stepping down after 11 years with the company. Gallego will officially take over in September and report to product director Luis Casacuberta. 'We're pleased to welcome such an experienced and accomplished professional as Eva Gallego to the team,' said Casacuberta in a statement. 'We are confident that under her leadership, the women's line will maintain its strong momentum, strengthening its distinctive value proposition and consolidating its position in the market.' With over two decades of international experience in the fashion industry, Eva Gallego has held senior positions at prominent companies including El Corte Inglés, Tous, Inditex and LVMH. Her career spans product development and strategic transformation across the fashion, luxury, and retail sectors. Most recently, she served as director of accessories, luxury and footwear purchasing at El Corte Inglés. Before that, she led all product divisions at Tous and headed the accessories category at Zara Woman. This appointment is part of Mango's 4E 2024–2026 Strategic Plan, aimed at reinforcing the group's leadership—particularly within the women's segment, which currently generates 70% of total revenue. Mango Woman's goals include strengthening its unique market positioning and driving further growth through innovation, sustainability and global expansion. Luis Maseres, the outgoing head of the division, joined Mango in 2014 and has held various strategic roles across commercial and product functions. He played a key role in shaping the brand's accessories strategy and, over the past four and a half years, led the transformation of the women's category—restructuring teams, sharpening its positioning and expanding its reach in multiple markets. Gallego's appointment follows a leadership shift in June, when Jonathan Andic stepped down as global director of Mango Man to lead his family's asset management companies, which handle business and real estate interests. Mango named Josep Estol as his successor. With a presence in over 120 markets and more than 2,800 points of sale, Mango has established itself as a major player in the global fashion retail industry. The company, established in 1984 by Isak Andic, reported a 7.6% revenue increase in fiscal year 2024, reaching €3.339 billion. As part of its 4E Strategic Plan, Mango aims to achieve €4 billion in revenue and plans to open 500 new stores worldwide by the end of 2026.
