The best fashion trends of 080 Barcelona Fashion

As autumn bathes the leaves in golden and orange hues, Barcelona transforms into the beating heart of fashion thanks to the 32nd edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion. This intense week was a riot of fashion shows and events all over the city. It began on Tuesday, 24 October, and ended on Friday, 27 October, with a grand closing party. This edition exceeded all expectations and evolved into a celebration of creativity, innovation and sustainability, anticipating the trends and designs that will determine the rules of the fashion game in the coming months. A dynamic programme with twenty-four designers and fashion brands from different regions, committed to diversity, creativity, sustainability and internationalisation. These are the values that guide the project and bring to the catwalk the fashion brands that best embody the spirit of 080 Barcelona Fashion, in an exceptionally beautiful setting such as the modernist building of Sant Pau.

For 080 Barcelona Fashion, we at G-Club have gathered the fashion trends that have created a fascinating mix of styles and inspirations, inspiring the creativity and vision of fashion designers. Catalan Fashion Week confirmed its status as a leading industry event that promotes sustainability, individuality and innovation, proving that fashion can be contemporary without forgetting the past.

Denim in evolution

Although denim fabrics and their variants require a considerable amount of water in their production, they are among the most durable and recyclable fabrics. This has led to denim establishing itself as an example of sustainable fashion, which was highlighted in the fashion show by 080 Reborn and The Artelier. The big party came with Dominnico, to techno sounds and an unparalleled parade of superheroines. Sita Abellán, who had just given birth to her second child, opened the fashion show.

2000s

Although it seems like yesterday, the new millennium is already history and young designers are drawing heavily on the wardrobe of those years to create their own style. An example of this is Cherry Massia, who presented a collection of "makinero" style outfits that took us back to the discos of the 2000s, and Como la Trucha al Trucho, which recalled the looks of the 2000s stars on the red carpets.

Naïf Prints

 

Why settle for just one colour or shape when you can wear it all at once, as if you were ten years old and playing dress-up with your cousins? That's the idea behind the plush accessories and brightly coloured knitted dresses from brands like Outsiders Division, Custo Barcelona and The Artelier.

Tailoring

Brexit has brought Carlota Barrera, a young master of unisex British tailoring, 'back home'. A touch of Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, with ensembles consisting of a matching jacket and trousers, a trend that Amlul is also picking up on.

The return of tie dye

The penchant for unique-looking garments and eco-friendly dyeing processes continues to drive designers to use the tie-dye technique. The results are refreshing and were showcased at Fashion Week by brands such as All That She Loves and The Artelier.

Metallic effect

Custo Barcelona argues that in fashion, glamour stirs the emotions. Both he and Lola Casademunt by Maite, Nathalie Chandler and Lemachet, among others, use metallic fabrics such as silk and technical yarns to add charisma and sparkle to any outfit.

The charm of the culotte

For several seasons now, the classic coat has been shortened to a culotte, a garment that will continue to play a starring role in the coming winter, as the latest fashion shows by Simorra, Guillermina Baeza, Lebor Gabala and Lola Casademunt showed.

The Essentials of Monochrome

Monochrome, the art of dressing in a single colour, was on the rise at this edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion Week. Brands such as dell'Eñaut, Bielo_Oscarleon, All That She Loves and Escorpion presented daring tone-on-tone ensembles that caught the attention of fashionistas. This trend proves that a minimalist approach to the colour palette can be very expressive. It underlines the importance of impeccable design and careful colour selection and confirms that essentiality can be surprisingly attractive.

Micro Top

For a touch of boldness, look no further than the Micro Top trend that's popping up this season. Brands like The Artelier and Dominnico are showing the glamorous and provocative side of fashion with ultra-short garments taking over the catwalk.
