Beyond Fashion. 15 years of Harper’s Bazaar Spain is the title of the new temporary exhibition that the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Montalban Street, 12) has opened on its fourth floor. There, since a few days ago, garments by Carolina Herrera or Leandro Cano coexist with works by artists such as Joaquín Sorolla or Lita Cabellut.
This is not the only thing that can be seen by visitors: there are also more than 230 photographs on display, some of them iconic or historical covers of this magazine, signed by authors such as Txema Yeste, Xavi Gordo or Nico Bustos.
The exhibition, produced in collaboration with the magazine, aims to highlight the three decades of “good work of this masthead in the field of graphic design, photography and typography” since its launch in our country.
What is the Harper’s Bazaar exhibition like?
The exhibition has been installed in a space created specifically for the occasion in the MNAD and traces a journey from the first issue of the publication in 1867 through its evolution throughout the twentieth century and up to 2010, when it began to be published in Spain.
Covers of hundreds of issues, great fashion reports and reflections on concepts such as “the Spanish” have dotted its pages and are now transferred to this exhibition, as well as a review of the great icons that are already part of its imaginary. The exhibition can be visited until June 22, 2025.
Carolina Herrera in Madrid
The presence of part of her work in this exhibition is not the only current news related to the fashion designer. Just a few days ago El País reported something that had never been seen before: her spring-summer 2026 collection will not be presented during the New York fashion week, but in Madrid.
