The fashion triangle is far from the foci and flashes of the catwalks, but in it multi -brand stores and retailers supply quality creations between clothing, footwear and jewelry with differentiating designs.

In the heart of Madrid, one step away from the Plaza Mayor, this area is, for decades, key to fashion wholesalers from all over Spain, but also from Portugal, Italy, France, Mexico or Ecuador.

For eleven years, the businesswoman Montserrat Gallego and another 50 associates created this association that presides, the fashion triangle, a way to become strong in front of the Asian explosion that tried to displace them towards little attractive polygons for their product.

"Our way of working is different, and our product, differentiated and quality," explains Gallego today, who details that, although most wholesalers are dedicated to women's fashion, there are stores dedicated to male, child and accessories design, very current creations, in a very careful space.

In a high percentage it is about Spanish design and preparation, although there are also manufacturers in Italy or France and even Asian companies that "seek in this location a quality plus".

Despite the success of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid, Gallego says that the Madrid catwalk "is not the reality of the fashion world, it is not the street".

A context that wholesalers face, with customers who do not deny the "fash fashion", but who need other "costume alternatives for their working life or for a special event".
