In her latest runway showcase at Madrid Fashion Week, celebrated swimwear designer Dolores Cortés draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of nature, with nods to William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement. Her 2025 collection reflects the organic, intertwining elements found in nature—floral motifs, leaves, and birds—skillfully integrated into bikinis and trikinis featuring delicate Liberty-inspired patterns.
A Playful Colour Palette
Beyond the pastel hues, the collection embraces striking contrasts, particularly with the lime tones that dominate her more structured and sophisticated pieces. These pieces are adorned with dramatic drapery and intricate braiding, offering a bold contrast to the collection’s more organic elements. Meanwhile, ocean blue garments take on a futuristic edge with 3D applications and embellishments.
Timeless Black & White
The ever-classic black and white combination returns with an ethnic twist. Cortés weaves in linear prints and hand-crafted elements, using enamel brooches to bring a touch of handmade charm. The ethnic-inspired motifs and hand-detailed finishes serve to elevate the collection’s overall sophistication.
Versatile Cover-Ups for Every Woman
Known for her inclusive designs, Cortés once again highlights the diversity of her audience. This season’s cover-ups are designed in oversized, flowing silhouettes with glittering beaded embroidery, catering to women of all shapes, sizes, and ages.
