The brilliance of Isabel Gomila shines not merely in pattern and silhouette but in a whole conversation between fabric, form, and stage presence. Her work gathers momentum from a designer’s instinct for texture, color, and movement, translating couture into a wearable storytelling language that resonates under intense performance lights. In the world of high fashion that blends art with craft, Gomila’s approach is a reminder that fashion for the stage is a collaborative craft, built on detail, discipline, and a fearless sense of imagination.
Blanca Paloma’s creative journey in Liverpool embodies that same commitment to style, where a devotion to haute couture, upcycling, and a steady eye for emerging voices converges on the public stage. The city becomes a backdrop for a narrative about fashion as performance—where garments are not simply worn but activated, moving with the artist and tracing the arc of a musical journey. Paloma’s choice to present with her flamenco lullaby “Eaea” at the Eurovision Song Contest signals a bold fusion of tradition and contemporary design, turning fashion into a key element of storytelling that transcends language and borders.
Industry voices emphasize how artistry informs dress on the move. As Román Herrero Valles, director of the 15 Segundos exhibition hall, remarked, a truly distinct designer leaves a trace in the clothes they shape for the artist, with stage design and visual art interwoven in every public appearance. The collaboration with Eduardo Navarrete—who has costumed the performer for crucial appearances—highlights a shared vocabulary of silhouettes, ornament, and movement that helps the artist inhabit the moment and connect with audiences across screens and stadiums alike.
From the sculptural dress featured in the semi-finals, crafted by Alejandro Resta with more than 5,000 embroidered crystals and hundreds of hours of meticulous labor, to the shimmering influences of Mallorca-based Isabel Gomila, the wardrobe selections draw a cohesive story of Spain’s contemporary fashion voice. Each piece—whether a crystal-rich gown or a carefully structured ensemble from Maison Mesa—speaks to a culture that honors craft and innovation in equal measure. Guillermo Décimo’s involvement as the stylist reveals a commitment to making each garment not just a costume but a narrative anchor, constructed in Spain and designed to endure under the bright, demanding gaze of a global audience.
