In 2017, Madrid-born Arena Martinez fused her two passions to form her eponymous womenswear brand. Just two years after its launch, the brand opened Madrid Fashion Week with a show at the Palacio Real and scored an award from slow fashion brand ES Fascinante.

Arena Martinez brings the same spirit found in contemporary art – whether in museums, on street walls or tattoos – to the fashion industry via its unique, daring collections. Each piece is designed to make wearers feel strong, empowered and confident, earning a truly treasured space in their wardrobe.

By spending time with each artist with which it collaborates, the brand ensures that the artists’ passion is captured when translating their work into wearable garments. The fact that many of these pieces are hand-sewn by artisans in Madrid reinforces the brand’s truly collaborative approach to art and design.
