This season, there’s lots to love from the retail industry’s latest trade shows, especially from Spain! The country’s vibrant culture can be seen throughout a wide range of its fashion and accessories brands—many of which are at the top of our wish lists! Below, here’s five labels that we’re loving right now. All are showing September 20–22 at the Designers & Agents show (601 W. 26th St., 18th floor), and September 22–24 at the Coterie and Magic shows (Javits Center, 429 11th Ave.).
T.ba
T.ba’s ready-to-wear is steeped in romance, from flowing silky dresses to sharp winter coats. The label spotlights versatility with tonal jewel colors, seen across its full range of fashion and accessories. It’s also a sustainable brand, with all pieces made and produced locally in Spain.

Flabelus
Flablus is rooted in bohemian footwear, with its specialty being espadrilles. Equally popular are its ballet flats, which come in a vast range of colors and textures to suit anyone’s style. Details from embroidery to stitching and more place a focus on craftsmanship, as well—a core value for founder Beatriz de los Mozos Velasco.

Custo Barcelona
Since launching in the 1980’s, Custo Barcelona has been known for its vibrant collections and electric New York Fashion Week shows. Founded by brothers Custo and David Dalmau, the line features vibrant dresses, textured knitwear, mixed patterns, and more to create unique style statements. The punchy ethos makes sense when considering the brand’s origins, having first launched with a range of bright T-shirts inspired by West Coast dressing.

Soruka
Soruka leads with sustainability. The accessories label was first created by Josep Riera with the goal of reducing environmentally hazardous practices and leather waste. Today, the brand is known for its monochrome and multicolored crossbody bags, wallets, backpacks, and slides. As an added bonus, they’re all made with repurposed materials.

Since Chie Mihara launched in 2002, it’s become know for its statement-making footwear. Founders Chie Mihara and Francisco Sanchis have led their namesake label for over 20 years, emphasizing practical dressing with punchy style. Case in point: their wide range of shoes, which include block and low-heeled loafers, boots, and Mary Janes.
