Harper's Bazaar spotlights Vivascarrión's headpiece at the 2026 Málaga Festival

There are brands that need no introduction. There are names that, when they appear on a red carpet, change everything. Vivascarrión Artmilliners is one of them. And the Málaga Film Festival 2026 has just reminded us of that once more.

At the 29th edition of one of the most important film events in Spain, Rossy de Palma — iconic actress, Almodóvar muse and recipient of this edition's Premio Málaga-SUR — chose a Vivascarrión headpiece for one of her appearances. The result was so striking that Harper's Bazaar España wasted no time in featuring it in their digital coverage of the festival, highlighting Rossy among the best-dressed actresses on the red carpet. A digital cover that has circulated widely on social media and has once again placed the spotlight on Spain's most singular Sevillian atelier.

Who Vivascarrión are: art, craftsmanship and Andalusian soul

Behind Vivascarrión Artmilliners are Felipe Vivas, originally from Cáceres, and Manolo Carrión, a native of Seville. Two craftsmen who have spent more than twenty years building a world of their own where traditional millinery becomes sculpture, theatre and aesthetic manifesto.

Felipe Vivas studied Fine Arts at the University of Seville and from the very beginning of his career understood that designing headpieces and hats was not simply a trade: it was a matter of transferring to fabric, feathers and silk the same creative processes that guide painting and sculpture. With that spirit he travelled to London, Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam and New York, where he trained alongside international millinery references such as Ana de la Guerra.

From their atelier in Seville, Vivascarrión has built an unmistakable aesthetic: baroque, contemporary, theatrical and profoundly Andalusian. Their favoured materials are silk, feathers and metal flowers. Their pieces are not accessories: they are declarations of intent.

A long-standing relationship with Rossy de Palma

The connection between Vivascarrión and Rossy de Palma is not new. The Madrid-born actress, internationally recognised for her work with Almodóvar and her presence on the catwalk alongside Jean Paul Gaultier, has been wearing creations from the Sevillian atelier at top-tier events for years. At the Goya ceremony held in Seville, Rossy already appeared wearing a golden tiara by the label alongside a suit in the same shade by Alejandro Postigo. At the European Film Festival she wore a black crest by Vivascarrión that she would later repeat at the Paris Embassy, at a presentation where she shared the stage with names such as Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and Lomba.

This 29th edition of the Málaga Film Festival has been no exception. Rossy de Palma arrived at the event as its leading figure: she received the Premio Málaga-SUR in recognition of her entire career and presented her latest film, Día de caza, directed by Pedro Aguilera, in which she stars alongside Blanca Portillo and Carmen Machi. And as could only be expected, she chose Vivascarrión to complete one of her most talked-about looks.

Harper's Bazaar and the power of Spanish artisanal fashion

That Harper's Bazaar España should dedicate its digital cover to a look featuring a handcrafted Sevillian headpiece is no small detail. The magazine, an international reference for luxury and designer fashion, has demonstrated once again that true style knows no geographical boundaries nor large marketing budgets.

Vivascarrión has spent years being recognised by internationally prestigious publications. Their pieces have appeared in fashion editorials, on catwalks and at the most exclusive events in Spain and Europe. Naty Abascal wore one of their creations at the Palazzo Corsini in Florence. Rossy de Palma has been photographed in their headpieces for fashion magazine covers in Mexico and Spain. And now, once again, the Málaga Film Festival and Harper's Bazaar bring them back to the fore.

Vivascarrión: the atelier that becomes a trend without chasing one

What makes Vivascarrión singular in the Spanish fashion landscape is precisely their consistency. In a market saturated with fleeting trends and algorithmic aesthetics, Felipe Vivas and Manolo Carrión have built a brand that does not chase fashions: it precedes them. Their baroque and theatrical aesthetic, which draws on references such as Velázquez, Balenciaga and Jean Paul Gaultier, resonates with a woman — and increasingly also a man — who understands dressing as a creative and personal act.

Their handcrafted headpieces and hats, made by hand in their Seville atelier, have become collector's pieces. Each one is unique. Each one tells a story. And when someone like Rossy de Palma wears them on a red carpet as significant as the Málaga Film Festival, that story reaches millions of people.

The Málaga Film Festival, a showcase for Spanish designer fashion

The 29th edition of the Málaga Film Festival, held between the 6th and 15th of March 2026, has once again demonstrated that this event is not merely a cinematic occasion: it is also one of the most important showcases for contemporary Spanish fashion. Its red carpet has seen looks combining national and international design, championing craftsmanship, sustainability and emerging talent alongside established labels.

In that context, seeing Rossy de Palma wearing a Vivascarrión headpiece on the digital cover of Harper's Bazaar is far more than a beautiful image. It is a recognition of the quiet, rigorous and passionate work of two Andalusian craftsmen who have spent more than two decades demonstrating that designer fashion knows no size constraints nor grand fashion capitals.

Vivascarrión has done it again. And as always, they have done it from Seville.
