Guillermo Décimo: Spain’s Rising Star of Couture

At just 28, Guillermo Décimo has emerged as one of the brightest voices in contemporary couture, redefining Spanish fashion with a singular mix of theatricality, craftsmanship, and poetic vision. His latest triumph at Madrid Fashion Week — where he received the prestigious Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talent award for his collection In Tempo — confirms what many insiders already knew: Décimo is not simply a promising designer; he is a force destined for global recognition.

Born in Burgos, Décimo trained at EASD Burgos, refined his skills in the ateliers of Ana Locking and Ulises Mérida, and studied haute couture techniques under Javier Martín Galán at the Museo Balenciaga. This foundation is evident in his work, where meticulous handcraft meets bold imagination.

In Tempo, the award-winning collection, is a meditation on time, memory, and the enduring beauty of couture. Across 18 looks, Décimo plays with silhouettes that are both architectural and fluid, adorned with exquisite detail, evoking an operatic sense of drama while never losing sight of wearability.

After winning the MBFW prize, Décimo is set to showcase his collection at Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week, carrying Spanish craftsmanship onto the international stage. Yet for those who have followed his trajectory, the accolade feels like only the beginning.

Guillermo Décimo is, without question, one of the most exciting young couturiers today. His work shows profound respect for the traditions of couture, expressed through meticulous handcraft, intricate detailing, and designs that are strikingly innovative. From his exquisite drawings to the flawless execution of each silhouette, Décimo demonstrates a mastery where creative vision and technical skill converge — the very essence of fashion and the true spirit of couture. His powerful energy translates into marvellous creations — entirely handmade and deeply precious — positioning him as a designer who merits not only Spain’s admiration, but worldwide acclaim.
