As night falls on flagship European fashion event, 080 Barcelona, for another year, Spanish shores have proven themselves once again as a mecca of fashion innovation. Showcased across mesmerising collections of womenswear, menswear and genderless garments, vibrant palettes, decadent ruffles, and icy streetwear were among the style motifs we caught on the runway.
Never ones to shy away from a best bits rundown, we’ve compiled our favourite looks from the catwalk for you to devour, without having to jet off to Barça in the process, although, we wouldn’t blame you if you did.
However, head below to enjoy front-row seats from the comfort of your own home, right now…
Menchen Tomas
The womenswear brand, helmed by Barcelonian fashion designer Olga Menchén who previously made garments for theatre, cinema and television presented collection, “The Rat Pack” at this year’s event. A homage to the actors and musicians of the ‘50s and ‘60s, her designs, manufactured exclusively in Spain, blended sartorial cuts, bold colouring, glitz and even fedora hats.
Simorra
40 years into the fashion game, the avant-garde brand platformed exploration in its “Nomad” collection. Inspired by fearless, inquisitive women, the collection was a fiesta of outerwear with pastel puffer jackets, suede macs and all-out quilts on the runway. A new dimension of winter dressing was unveiled, and it’s safe to say we’ll be channelling that energy as we make our winter wardrobe updates.
