Ernesto Naranjo

Ernesto Naranjo is a Spanish fashion designer known for collections that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. His career gained momentum after winning the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talent award at Madrid Fashion Week in 2018, which allowed him to establish his own brand in the same year. He holds both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree from Central Saint Martins, one of the world’s most prestigious fashion schools. Naranjo worked at major international fashion houses, including Maison Margiela under John Galliano in the Artisanal and Prêt-à-Porter departments, and collaborated with Olivier Rousteing at Balmain; he also created capsule collections for Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, demonstrating his ability to connect with international markets.

He produces his collections in southern Spain, working closely with local artisans and specialised seamstresses — a return to his roots that merges his international training with Spain’s rich artisanal tradition. He has been a finalist in multiple awards and is regarded as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of Spanish fashion. He is a regular presence on the official MBFWMadrid calendar.
