Both elements are already indispensable in those spaces where the perception of color, of the fabrics and a perfect control of the lighting play are key variables for the success of the event.

The recent celebrations of the International Flamenco Fashion Show (Simof) and the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid have been two of the great spaces where success has been accompanied by professional lighting based on detail, controlling your possibilities in a special and different way.

The atmosphere in the different fashion shows of the most important fashion show in Spain, the amount of light the walkway should receive, the fidelity with which all colors must be appreciated, together with an exhaustive control of the spaces are some of the essential points based on good lighting, which was set up by the company Fluge Audiovisuals.

In the last edition of Fashion Week Madrid, both devices capable of producing bright and vivid colours and luminaires that controlled the room light were needed.

The characteristic lighting in these cases is in the center of the walkway, while the sides, where the spectators are located, remain in the dark.

Colors, projections and effects were the work of the luminaires of Claypaky, among others, which were placed in the Multipurpose Room of the Pavilion 14 of Ifema. In total, fourteen units of A.Leda B-Eye K10 and 46 Mythos.

In the case of the International Flamenco Fashion Show, which was held last February at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Sevilla Fibes, The atmosphere was less sober and more colorful. The spectacular lighting had a high prominence, from the parades to the entrance to the building itself.

Among others, the luminaires in charge of giving color to the space were the Ghibli of Ayrton, a powerful spot with blades whose gobos were the protagonists, in a project that was entrusted to the company Crambo Rental.

For the lighting of the gangway, where the most important thing is to respect the colors of the dresses, Axcor Beam models were used 300 by Claypaky, among others, to achieve a play of lights inside that gave the event an atmosphere of its employing fair.
