David Catalán Fall/Winter 2025 – Careto

David Catalán´s F/W25/26 collection, “Careto,” is a striking homage to the interplay between ruggedness and elegance, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic Caretos of Trás-os-Montes. This collection deftly fuses raw, traditional elements with a polished, modern aesthetic, creating a narrative that is at once grounded and imaginative.

Every piece in “Careto” is a masterclass in contrast, showcasing classic, structured silhouettes that are enlivened by carefully curated details. The colour story is a visual echo of the natural world, rich in organic hues that capture the mystical essence of the Caretos. The interplay of materials brings forth a dynamic tension, harmonizing robust fabrics with luxurious textures, and crafting a balance between the bold and the subtle.
