These days, the pre-Christmas party season in Madrid registers frenetic activity that demonstrates the good social and economic moment of the capital. One of the most attractive events for the social press is the one organized by Scalpers, the Spanish fashion brand founded in its day by Rafael Medina, Duke of Feria, and some friends, which now flies alone and with great success.
The new Scalpers collection is presented this Thursday by Olivia Palermo, one of the most famous It girls and models in New York and with a great international presence. The top model has participated in the design of the new collection.
The chosen place is the most traditional neighborhood of Madrid, behind Gran Vía: the family mansion of Fernando Ramírez de Haro y Valdés, Count of Bornos, Esperanza Aguirre’s husband.
“Only the owner’s wife”
The former president of the Community of Madrid wanted to clarify to Informalia that she is not the co-owner of the palace, as has been published in some media; only the owner’s wife.
Not the first time that this historic residence has been rented as a setting for business or family events or for filming movies or series. Last week scenes from the series about the queen were filmed there Victoria Eugenia, inspired by the novel Pilar Eyre and also some chapter of another more recent series, such as the one that has been produced on Miguel Bose.
Among the guests, names from the world of fashion and famous faces from the gossip press and social chronicles. Dresden Mafalda De Bulgaria, to Andrea Pascual, married to Beltrán Gómez Acebo, Lulu Figueroa, Juan Avellaneda, Rocío Laffon, Victoria de Marichalar’s best friend, Ernesto de Hannover’s daughter-in-law, Sassa de Osma, and of course, the inevitable influencers of the moment. It is possible that the former leader of the Madrid PP will also appear in the halls of her residence to greet the celebrities who will enjoy the party. There is no place like home.
