Fine wines, great food, gorgeous cities and beaches are just a few of the reasons that Spain’s beauty and culture are so swoon-worthy. But as much as we love a picturesque playa and delicious paella, the country’s fashion scene is unmissable, too! To wit, these finely crafted fashion brands, which 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.).
