HOSS INTROPIA x MIGUEL PALACIO (Madrid)

A cult Spanish label freshly squeezed from the creative juices of Paloma Vázquez de Castro, the former designer to the National Ballet of Spain, Hoss Intropia also has a high-end collection by the award-winning designer Miguel Palacio (who has earned multiple Designer-of-the-Year awards), first rolled out in Autumn last year.

From the latest of that collaboration comes this lovely tunic-style silk dress. Adorned with velvet appliqués and silk trims, this piece beautifully showcases Palacio’s flair for feminine, elegant tailoring. A dress that promises to be a favourite in your cocktail/dinner-date portfolio.

For extra style points, reference the runway with a topknot and sexy kitten pumps.

(RRP €470)

The Hoss Intropia-Miguel Palacio collaboration has become even stronger in the third season collection (Cibeles Fashion Week, Madrid).

Great clothes and cool music – what’s not to like? This latest Hoss Intropia video features Brit drummer girl turned fashionista, Florrie Arnold, who not only plays the drums, keyboard and some bottles (!) in the vid, but wrote the orginal music too.

HOSS INTROPIA x MIGUEL PALACIO (Spain)

Founded by entrepreneur Constan Hernández in 1994, Spanish fashion house Hoss Intropia utilises its creative head Paloma Vázquez de Castro’s history as former designer to the Spanish National Ballet, interpreting this refined experience into elegance, sleek shapes, and utter femininity.

Since Autumn 2011, Hoss Intropia has also been teaming up with Miguel Palacio, one of Spain’s most characterful design stars, to create Hoss Intropia Miguel Palacio, a capsule collection which exudes individualistic yet classic Spanish style.

The freshness and originality of Hoss Intropia when partnered with the spirited sophistication of Miguel Palacio make us dream happy thoughts. Smart, striking, yet the pretty detailing keeps this dress sweet and Spring-time fresh.

HOSS INTROPIA
Cult Spanish label Hoss Intropia, known for its eclectic, cosmopolitan and boho chic style, was founded 16 years ago by entrepreneur Constantino Hernández and friend Paloma Vázquez de Castro, a former costume designer for Spain’s National Ballet. Looking at the utter femininity, sleek shapes and elegance of Hoss Intropia garments, it would seem that de Castro and her team are indeed channeling her design experience from the dance world.
The soft and pretty elements are often combined with the harder edge of graphics, and it is this organic fusion -which gives whiffs of Marni and Etro- that has ensured a loyal following since the brand’s inception.
Prints, a particular Hoss Intropia trademark, are designed and produced in-house in the interest of keeping them unique and exclusive.
Trivia: The word “Intropia”, not found in dictionaries, is really the union of two words: interior and utopia -- which together makes up a philosophy of fashion that relates Hoss Intropia’s clothes to the wearers' real life.

Hoss Intropia is the latest fave brand of Gossip Girl Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively).


It's not surprising that a label that makes such wonderful clothes also has impeccable taste in picking its ambassadors. The women with “intropia” have included (L to R) Naomi Harris, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, María Valverde and Carmen Kass.
