High-Street Fashion: 080 Barcelona Fashion
From 8th to 12th july it will take place 080 Barcelona Fashion at the Design Hub Barcelona (DHUB), showing the last proposals of the spring-summer 2014 season from more than thirty different designers and brands. At moment, 080 Barcelona Fashion presented new collections of independent designers who competed for the best collection prize award. The aim of 080 Barcelona is to provide a platform to increase the visibility of independent designers and help them make a mark in the international market.
Highlights of 080 Barcelona Fashion included shows by Custo Barcelona, Mango, Desigual and others. Mango opened the first parade of the show with its collection — pinstripe suits and jackets with glut of shimmering black and some touches of red. Showstopper on the second day of the show was Brazilian model Adriana Lima, who for the first time marched in Spain for designer brand Desigual in a tight white dress with circular patterned red and green stripes.
With this new edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion, the Department d’Empresa i Ocupació -by the Catalan Consortium of Commerce, Artcraft and Fashion (CCAM)- continues supporting the projection of Catalan fashion with a catwalk where designers and established brands will show their last SS14 collections, to help strengthening the links between design and textiles.
This time in 080 Barcelona Fashion we will enjoy the SS14 collections of: Albéniz, Alexis Reyna, Bcn Brand, Boboli, Brain & Beast, Celia Vela, Condor, Custo Barcelona, Desigual, Scorpio, Guillermina Baeza, Josep Abril, Juan Pedro Lopez, Justicia Ruano, Robustella Krizia, Mango, Manuel Bolaño, Miriam Ponsa, Natalie Capell, Naulover, Punto Blanco, Selim Somavilla, Shipper & Arques, Slazenger, South, TCN, Torras, Who, Yerse, Yiorgos Eleftheriades and Zazo & Brull.
Fashion is also the protagonist of the “Barcelona prêt-à-porter, 1958-2008. Half century of Fashion industry” exhibition at the Palau Robert in Barcelona. The Minister of “Business and Occupation” Felip Puig will open up the sample that will display more than 300 pieces and images of the “Antoni de Montpalau textile collection” which explains the recent history of the Catalan fashion.
