Fashion design must evoke emotions
Adolfo Domínguez is a company with a long tradition dating back to 1973 and a small tailor's workshop. The 1980's marked the arrival of the slogan “Creased is beautiful”:“I wanted my clothes to be like a second skin. Each face is etched with the innermost secrets of every human being”. Today, the company's strategy consists of a signature design based on experimentation. Adolfo Domínguez clearly states:“my clothes do not highlight differences in status as much as they do differences in spirit and intellect. I dress the vast minority, in the memorable words of the poet Juan Ramón Jiménez.” The most emblematic line, Adolfo Domínguez Men and Women, is joined by the following ranges: U (fashion for young men and women), Salta (sportswear for urban living), Adolfo Domínguez + (sizes 44 to 56), Kids, Adolfo Domínguez Accessories and the latest range: Mi Casa. The company is consolidating its international expansion and in 2007 is present in 18 countries through a network of 400 exclusive shops. Adolfo Dominguez gives the world of fashion a timeless beauty with refined lines. Innovation without renouncing traditional methods.

Adolfo Domínguez has received the most prestigious awards: Golden Needle, Porto Fashion Awards, Linen Master (La Confrérie des Maîtres du Lin),FIMI Award (International Children's Fashion Fair),Lifetime Achievement in Fashion (Miami Fashion Week)…

AMRE analyses the impact of the Spanish football team’s victory on the Spain Brand
As a result of the Spanish national football team’s recent victory in the South Africa World Cup, the Leading Brands of Spain Association has analysed the impact of this success on Spain’s image abroad. This project was led by AMRE’s Managing Director and covered by various media. On Saturday 17 July, the business daily Expansión published an opinion article by Miguel Otero entitled ‘The Spain Brand and the Reds: a perspective from China’. This article analysed the repercussion of the world cup victory in the strategic market of China and the need for the government and brands to harness the potential for promoting their image as a result of an event of such importance. He suggested this should be achieved through an image plan that brings together the work of different bodies to promote Spain’s image.
