See you around….

Like every six months (more or less), took place this past Wednesady November 11th the presentation of our new Spring-Summer 2010 collection.

This event is not a simple runaway but a PARTY to celebrate fashion and enjoy with celebrities, socialites, bloggers and many more.

Front row with Nati Abascal, Scarlett Johansson, Isak Andic (Mango’s president) and María García de la Rasilla.

Several young actors and actresses from Spanish TV series.

All of them came to our Fashion Show that this time took place in Madrid, in La Caja Mágica, where after the catwalk a party was held with catering and music, with special performance of Emilia de Poret.

We’ll make a special post about the collection, but first, let’s take a look at our guests and their outfits, as most of them were dressed by MANGO. This is your perfect occasion to know what they wear and get it!

Let’s start with our most special guest and, at the same time, our new face: Scarlett Johansson.

The young actress was wearing a short-sleeved black jumper with lace at the neck paired with a high waist pencil skirt in wool with stretch at waist.

Model Drew Hemingway looked great in this outfit: fur jacket in grey tones, jeans with leather-applications and peep-toe shoes, all from MANGO.

Spanish TV conductor and actress Ane Igartiburu wearing a black two-pieces suit: one-button jacket and matching trousers.

Madrid socialité Cari Lapique following season’s trends by wearing a golden sequins cardigan and high-waist leather pencil skirt.

Argentinian model Carla Pereira choose a rocky look. She wore an animal print mini-dress and a leather studded jacket.

Young Spanish actress Esmeralda Moya (from TV series 60-90-60) looked wonderful with this strapless dress, with ruffles and lace.

Miss Spain 2009, Estibaliz Pereira picked this one-shoulder LBD and a small handbag in black and grey.

Sisters Eugenia and Claudia Ortiz Domecq came together to the party.

Eugenia went for sequins too (with the same golden cardigan that Cari Lapique) and a super-slim fit trousers, while her sister Claudia opted for a petroleum green dress with ruffles (we show it above in black) and a boyish suit jacket.

Spanish actress Fabiola Toledo went for the sure thing with this classy strapless LBD.

Another Spanish actress, Fanny Gautier came with a different look. She opted for black shorts to show off her legs and a nice black 3-button coat with wide neck.

Amaia Montero (right), former singer of Spanish pop group La Oreja de Van Gogh that now is on her own, came with her sister Idoia to the party.

Amaia looked great in her black one-shoulder sequins dress that she daringly paired with those strawberry pumps. Her sister was all black: boyish suit jacket, skirt with applications and ankle boots with studs.

Spanish architect Laura Vecino (better known as Rafa Medina’s eternal girlfriend) was also an all-black girl.

She opted for a tight zipped jacket and a ruffled mini-skirt. Her peep-toe shoes are also one of the season’s best sellers.

Black was also young Spanish actress Leticia Dolera’s color. She wore a black structured dress (above shown in purple) with a multi-buckle pump and a red round handbag, that brought a touch of color to her look.

Finally Spanish actress Lola Marceli and Clara Courel, former stylist for Elle magazine Spain, wearing the same dress!!!! They both picked a very sexy cobalt blue sequins dress with open back.
