Ernesto Naranjo is a Spanish fashion designer known for his unique approach to creating
collections that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. His career
gained momentum after winning the Mercedes Benz Fashion Talent at Madrid Fashion
Week in 2018, which allowed him to establish his own brand. He holds a Bachelor’s
degree and a Master’s degree from Central Saint Martins, one of the most prestigious
institutions in the fashion world, which led him to present his collection at London
Fashion Week with the support of the Alexander McQueen Scholarship.

Throughout his career, Ernesto has worked at major international fashion houses. His
experience at Maison Margiela under the direction of John Galliano in the Artisanal and
Prêt-à-Porter departments, as well as his collaboration with Olivier Rousteing at
Balmain, has given him a broad view of high-end fashion. He has also worked on
projects such as creating capsule collections for Lane Crawford in Hong Kong,
showcasing his ability to connect with international markets.

One of the key foundations of his creative process is his focus on “Family First.” The idea
of family, with all its diverse personalities, deeply influences the research and conception
of his collections. The mix of dramatic elements with irony and geometry in his designs is
complemented by the use of accessories, giving his looks a strong personality.

Ernesto Naranjo produces his collections in southern Spain, working closely with local
artisans and specialized seamstresses. Returning to his roots has allowed him to merge
the knowledge gained from his international career with Spain’s rich artisanal tradition,
creating pieces that reflect the best of both worlds.
He has also been recognized for his talent and creativity, being a finalist in multiple
editions of the prestigious Vogue Fashion Fund (2019, 2022, and 2024), as well as in the
Fashion Trust Arabia awards in October 2024. This highlights Ernesto Naranjo’s growing
relevance in the global fashion industry.
